One question, foes it exists outside of the galaxy?
- saagarjha 6y agoYes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrophysical_jet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrophysical_jet
- sliken 6y agoSo none of the numerous blackholes in our galaxy have astrophysical jets? Seems unlikely, maybe small, thin, and/or far enough not to be observed, but that doesn't mean they aren't there.
- saagarjha 6y agoGenerally they're associated with quasars and formedby supermassive black holes at the centers of active galaxies, which our galaxy doesn't really qualify for. However, while relatively quiet, Sagittarius A* does accelerate things to fairly high speeds, and it is thought that it might have some faint jets and an accretion disk.
