Beijing, April 27 (Ians) For the first time, astronomers have detected an image of a powerful jet exploding from a black hole.
The observations of the black hole at the centre of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87) could help reveal how black holes can launch such energetic jets — among the brightest objects in the universe.
“We know that jets are ejected from the region surrounding black holes, but we still do not fully understand how this actually happens,” said Ru-Sen Lu from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory in China.
“To study this directly we need to observe the origin of the jet as close as possible to the black hole,” Lu said.
Most galaxies harbour a supermassive black hole at their centre. While black holes are known for engulfing matter in their immediate vicinity, they can also launch powerful jets of matter that extend beyond the galaxies that they live in. Understanding how...

Seoul, Dec 4 (Ians) South Korea’s Trade Minister Ahn Duk-geun will visit the US for talks on the US Inflation Reduction Act (Ira) that excludes electric vehicles assembled outside North America from tax incentives, the Ministry said on Sunday.

Ahn’s visit came just days after South Korea sent its second official written opinion to Washington on tax benefits for clean hydrogen and fuel production and commercial eco-friendly cars over the weekend, Yonhap news agency reported.
South Korea provided its first official comments on EVs and related sectors in November.
The Ira, signed by US President Joe Biden in August, gives...

Considering the surge of hate crime against Asian Americans following the Covid pandemic, cinema was bound to take a stance regarding the events. Joseph Juhn “rose up to the challenge” with a documentary that takes the 1992 L.A. riots and the concept of anti-Asian hate crimes as its base, but essentially focuses on 5 Asian Korean candidates running for Congress.
“Chosen“ is screening at San Diego Asian Film Festival
Considering that, prior to 2018, there was only one Korean American ever elected to Congress, the simultaneous running of five is an event in itself, with Juhn highlighting the fact quite eloquently. At the same time, though, apart from the general concept, the focus on the individuals is equally intense. As such, we first meet David Kim, a young progressive LGBTQ candidate in Koreatown, Los Angeles, whose pastor father is a Trump supporter. His relationship with his conservative father and the impact of...
