jet and black hole

• by galaxywanderer

  i think i found a black hole. in the top center area there is a double sided jet/ plume. it is small and bluish i think its coming from a black hole

  Though it would be unlikely that this is a black hole - there are lots of other sources of jets in our galaxy (e.g. young stars). I shall take a look at it and see what we know of in that area. Well spotted!

  Wow! That's so tiny! I would have just thought that they were 4 stars in a row hehe. I'm starting to wonder if I should take an Open Uni course, though I doubt it would be specific enough to enlighten me as to what's going on here!

  Thanks for the feedback ttfnrob 😃 Let us know if you find anything listed in that area of relevance.

  Wow, that's really keen looking. I was gazing at the pic for minutes and still didn't spot it. And when I saw the jets I would have labeled them for myself as four stars, lol! 😕
  Really, I wouldn't have seen it!

  Gravitational lensing perhaps?

  well spotted indeed 😃

  If it was gravitational lensing, mabye theres a hidden dark matter cloud there OR there is a black hole or _____(--> insert any applicable dense object) there.

  I DIDN'T SAY THERE WAS!!! I SAID THAT IT COULD BE ONE. Please look at how I specifically said that there could be something else causing the jet (or gravitational lensing) there.

  Hi galaxywanderer. Please could you circle the object in question (using MS paint or whatever), and upload the picture to internet and post a link. As a relative novice to this site, I could use a helping hand with spotting objects of significance like the one you're describing. Thanks.

  @Legoryan, if you can provide PROOF that it is not a black hole, then please do so. Otherwise, lets just forget this argument before it gets any worse.
  @Ian Farr: "Here is the jet in question. Click this to see. It MAY be from a black hole, but it is not likely.":(30x30@71,466). Also, here is a close up of the jet provided by ttfnrob: close-up view of jet plumes

  Cheers for that. Appreciated.

  i can now see that the plume or whatever it is doe look more like two stars or two alien UFO's

  Hi all. I downloaded the images from the Spitzer science archives and did a quick search around this feature. It doesn't look like anything unremarkable. In close-up the "jets" are actually quite well resolved as 4 point-like objects. While the symmetry is a little odd, I do think this is just a chance alignment of 4 stars....

  Provide the Proof, show us the close up image then!

  Yeah, I'd like to see the close ups too.

  To me it looks like two bright stars next to two less bright stars or it might be four stars in different places all at different brightness levels just looking like they've aligned. If we could get to zoom in to make almost everything else there disappear we could find out what they are

  Such a symmetrical image, it is well known the Hubble captures multiple images due to gravitational lensing. Basically with out more study (new images to look at) I would guess that this a is a quadruple image of 1 start around a dense object. Why can't it a be a black hole? Those are known to be everywhere in a Universe but also known to be hard to find. Also what is known that even our regular star, the Sun, causes gravitational lensing.

  In my humble opinion, 1 star, seen double on two sides of the dense unknown object. and not a UFO because that suggest there is an atmosphere of Air, to fly around in. hehe

  highly doubt it is a black hole. it would have much more mass around it

  Ha, ha- they are pretty hard to see 😄

  I found a black hole too, can someone check it out for me? Thanks

  Man, how long did it take you to find that? The jets just look like four stars, but I guess the ends are just bright.
