Some supermassive black holes launch powerful beams of material, or jets, away from them, while others do not. Astronomers may now have identified why. using data from NASA’s Chandra x-ray telescope, ESA’s XMM Newton, Germany’s ROentgen SATellite (ROSAT), the NSF’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and other telescopes, Astronomers have seen over 700 quasars! Quasars are rapidly Growing black holes. The team isolate factors that may be causing black holes to launch jets. The team concluded that the x-ray emission was coming from a black hole Corona! but… what is a corona? if you are talking about the sun, the “Corona” is probably reffering to the suns atmosphere. for a black hole, the corona is the two little spots on the poles of the black hole! cool!
