Black hole jets measured in real time for the first time, releasing the power of 10,000 suns

For the first time ever, scientists measured the instantaneous power of a black hole's jets. The answer: the equivalent of 10,000 suns, moving at half the speed of light. The system is Cygnus X-1, just 7,200 light-years from Earth. Read the full analysis at SKYCR.
