After a long period of dormancy lasting nearly 100 million years, a supermassive black hole located in distant galaxies has become active. This is reported by Popular Science magazine, citing data provided by Lenta.ru.
The astronomical team led by Shobha Kumari from Midnapore City College in India concluded that such black holes rarely emit magnetized plasma that can be detected in the radio range.
The research results showed that an object called J1007+3540 functions like a cosmic volcano, ejecting plasma into intergalactic space.
The article specifies that the length of the jets from this object is about one million light-years, which is nearly ten times the width of our galaxy, the Milky Way. It is noted that black holes can remain dormant and do not always actively consume matter.
The return to activity is associated with major processes reflecting the complex interactions of the object's internal forces and external pressure, as emphasized in the publication.
