TL;DR

The Event Horizon Telescope has captured images of a supermassive black hole in the nearby galaxy 3C 84, revealing powerful jets of matter being ejected at near-light speeds. These observations shed light on the interplay between magnetism and gravity near black holes, providing valuable insights into how they feed on matter and produce far-reaching jets. The findings suggest that the speed at which a black hole rotates may influence its ability to launch jets, and further research using general relativity may help unravel this phenomenon.
