Hubble Space Telescope observations suggest supermassive black hole jets double the frequency of nova explosions. But how?

Jet Set Black holes are some of the most destructive objects in the universe — but it's not just their terrifying gravity you should fear. Brooding at the heart of the galaxy M87, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have spotted a supermassive black hole that's shooting out a veritable death beam of energy so

Hubble uncovers how a black hole’s jet in M87 triggers stellar eruptions, revealing new insights into black hole jets and novae.
