Scientists uncover a hidden power source inside a monster black hole

Scientists have simulated how M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, powers its immense particle jet. The Frankfurt team’s FPIC code shows that magnetic reconnection, where magnetic field lines snap and reform, works alongside the traditional Blandford-Znajek mechanism to release rotational energy. These findings shed new light on how black holes energize the cosmos and shape galaxies.
