Supermassive Black Hole Jet’s Power Exceeds Death Star’s, Astronomers Reveal
New observations have revealed that a jet emanating from a supermassive black hole possesses power exceeding that of the ‘Death Star’ weapon from ‘Star Wars,’ as reported on Space.com on February 5, 2026. This discovery highlights one of the most potent phenomena in the cosmos.
These jets are formed by matter ejected at near-light speeds from the vicinity of a black hole. The energy output is estimated to be thousands of times greater than the total energy consumed by the entire Milky Way galaxy. Scientists are actively working to understand the mechanisms behind the formation of such powerful jets and their influence on the evolution of surrounding galaxies.
This extraordinary cosmic event offers crucial insights into the extreme physics governing the universe.
