Phys.org12/9/2025 • Last cited 12/14/2025

Summary

An international team of astronomers, led by SRON, has observed a sudden outburst of matter near the supermassive black hole NGC 3783, with speeds reaching up to 20% of the speed of light, attributed to a change in the magnetic field rather than strong radiation, as reported by Phys.org. This event was documented over a 10-day observation period using the XRISM space telescope.
