A supermassive black hole ejects a 3,000-light-year-long jet of plasma, traveling at nearly the speed of light. In the foreground, to the right is a binary star system. The system is far from the black hole, but in the vicinity of the jet. In the system an aging, swelled-up, normal star spills hydrogen onto a burned-out white dwarf companion star. As the hydrogen accumulates on the surface of the dwarf, it reaches a tipping point where it explodes like a hydrogen bomb. Novae frequently pop-off throughout the giant galaxy of 1 trillion stars, but those near the jet seem to explode more frequently. So far, it&#8217;s anybody&#8217;s guess why black hole jets enhance the rate of nova eruptions.<\/p>\n<p>NASA, ESA, Joseph Olmsted (STScI)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/missions\/hubble\/nasas-hubble-finds-that-a-black-hole-beam-promotes-stellar-eruptions\/?rand=772114\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an artist&#8217;s concept looking down into the core of the giant elliptical galaxy M87.
