Powerful Black Hole Explained !!!!
While we may never know what it looks like inside a black hole, astronomers recently obtained one of the closest views yet. The sighting allowed scientists to confirm theories about how these giant cosmic sinkholes spew out. A leading hypothesis suggested the black hole's gigantic mass distorts space and time around it, twisting magnetic field lines into a coil that propels material outward. Now researchers have observed a period of extreme outburst and found evidence that streams of particles wind a corkscrew path away from the black hole, as the leading hypothesis predicts. "We got an unprecedented view of the inner portion of one of these and gained information that's very important to understanding how these tremendous particle accelerators work"
