Astronomers using Hubble have discovered that the blowtorch-like jet blasting from a supermassive black hole at the core of galaxy M87 (left) seems to cause stars to erupt along its trajectory (right): https://bit.ly/3XwMsiu

1. An artist’s concept looks down into the core of the galaxy M87, which is just left of center and appears as a large blue dot. A bright blue-white, narrow and linear jet of plasma transects the illustration from center left to upper right. It begins at the source of the jet, the galaxy’s black hole, which is surrounded by a blue spiral of material. At lower right is a red giant star that is far from the black hole and close to the viewer. A bridge of glowing gas links the star to a smaller white dwarf star companion immediately to its left. Engorged with infalling hydrogen from the red giant star, the smaller star exploded in a blue-white flash, which look like numerous diffraction spikes emitted in all directions. Thousands of stars are in the background.
