While astronomers cannot say whether the jets released by black holes can damage stars or planets, they certainly influence the evolution of galaxies. According to a study published in The Astrophysical Journal, astronomers have discovered how supermassive black holes shoot jets of matter into space and then change the direction of these shots to hit another target. Scientists have compared these black holes to the fictional Death Star space station from the Star Wars film universe, which destroyed planets with its rays. The result of a new study helps to better understand the influence of supermassive black holes on the galaxies around them. Astronomers used observations from the Chandra Space Telescope and the VLBA robotic ground-based telescope system to study 16 supermassive black holes at the centers of different galaxies. The study showed that black hole jets can change direction by almost 90 degrees. According to scientists, these black holes spin and shoot out jets of matter at different targets, just like the fictional Death Star space station did in Star Wars. Powerful magnetic fields around supermassive black holes drive charged particles toward the black holes’ poles at nearly the speed of light. After this, these particles fly out in the form of two jets in opposite directions from different poles of the black hole. They studied the direction of movement of jets of black holes, consisting of high-energy particles that flew into space at almost the speed of light. The direction of movement of the jets was indicated by cavities in the interstellar gas. Powerful magnetic fields around supermassive black holes drive charged particles toward the black holes’ poles at nearly the speed of light. After this, these particles fly out in the form of two jets in opposite directions from different poles of the black hole. When these jets collide with hot gas in the surrounding galaxy, their energy prevents the interstellar gas from cooling and creating super-dense gas clouds. It is from them, when clouds are compressed under the influence of gravity, that new stars arise. Thus, a grown black hole jet can interrupt this process. If the jets change their direction, then the number of areas in the galaxy where new stars cannot appear increases. Because the black holes that astronomers have studied are so far away, it is unknown whether their jets could damage stars or planets. But the authors of the study cannot yet say exactly how supermassive black holes can change the direction of their jets. Supermassive black holes rotate, and their jets should align with their axis of rotation, that is, the imaginary line connecting the poles. One suggestion is that as the accretion disk rotates around the black hole, matter falling into the black hole at different angles may shift the black hole’s spin axis. As a result, the jets will be thrown in a different direction. The post ‘Death Star’ black holes shoot powerful beams at multiple targets appeared first on Anomalien.com.

59-year-old Paulina Porizkova has had an eventful life of triumph and emotional turmoil. After a rollercoaster marriage to Ric Ocasek ended with his passing in 2019, it would be several years before Porizkova found love again, but when she did, she considered it “exactly the right time.” Supermodel Porizkova hinted for months last spring at a new love interest in her life. Just in time for the couple’s three-month anniversary, Porizkova confirmed she was in a relationship with TV writer Jeff Greenstein, celebrating the occasion with an adorable photo of the two of them kissing in Paris. This latest romantic update comes after a journey of discovery about the most powerful emotion we can feel. Paulina Porizkova discusses the value of finding love at exactly the right time   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Paulina Porizkova (@paulinaporizkov) In a vulnerable Instagram posts, Porizkova discussed the journey of love she underwent to find herself with whom she was meant to be. “We hold each other all night,” she shared. “Tightly, interwoven, clutching one another — not like drowning people — but like two people who can’t believe their luck.” RELATED: Paulina Porizkova Is A Proud Mom of Two! Meet Her Sons, Jonathan and Oliver The accompanying photos show her and Greenstein leaning against one another, with Greenstein at one point placing a tender kiss on Porizkova’s head. Porizkova went on, “We both wake during the night and snuggle in closer. Overwhelmed by gratitude that the other exists. And that we met. We wish we had met earlier. Much earlier.” For instance, she provided, meeting when they were teens or in their thirties. “But when we unravel these wistful thoughts,” she added, “we find we met exactly at the right time. Because time is what has made us perfect for one another right now.” The stars aligned for love at first perfectly-timed meeting Paulina Porizkova admitted to wishing she’d met Jeff Greenstein earlier, but believes that they found love at exactly the right time / Instagram Jeff Greenstein, who Porizkova got together with almost two years after splitting from screenwriter and director Aaron Sorkin, enjoys much success as a TV writer, director, and producer. According to Daily Mail, the two met through the dating app Raya, which Porizkova confirmed with a social media post of her own that revealed she had no further need of it. “Deleting the dating app on which we met,” said Porizkova in her post.  “Thank you @Raya and goodbye.” The model loves being goofy with the TV writer / Instagram She also took time to thank her fans who supported her through what was an emotional path to the exact love at the exact time she was meant for, adding, “Thank you, thank you all ever so much for the outpouring of love and support for my happiness. I’m overcome with your generosity.” Porizkova was uncertain about finding love again / Instagram RELATED: Paulina Porizkova Talks Uncomfortable First Dinner With Late Ex-Husband Ric Ocasek Click for next Article The post Paulina Porizkova Says She Found Love At “Exactly The Right Time” appeared first on DoYouRemember? - The Home of Nostalgia.
