Remember the first black hole photo?

 Well, now we've directly imaged a jet from a supermassive black hole. The same one that gave us that iconic annular image.


It has tentacles, doesn't it. Maybe it's really an Old One, or that is what an Old One is.

So, how does this happen if nothing can escape a black hole. The jet actually comes from the region directly around the black hole and is stray matter from the black hole feeds.

It's so cool that we can see black holes now!
