Power of black hole jets

[00:00:00]Astronomers have finally measured the awesome power of a black hole's dancing jets [music] with incredible precision.

[00:00:08]In the Cygnus X-1 system, these jets are being bent and buffeted by the intense stellar winds of a neighboring supergiant star.

[00:00:17]Moving at half the speed of light, these jets carry the power of 10,000 suns, shaping everything around [music] them.

[00:00:25]By linking global radio telescopes, researchers proved that 10% of the [music] black hole's energy is blasted back into the galaxy.

[00:00:34]This incredible feedback loop is the key to understanding how black holes influence the evolution of the entire universe.
