Black hole jet ejected by supermassive black hole is shaped like a helix

An extraordinary galactic jet ejected from a supermassive black hole boasts a corkscrew-like helical structure, new ground-based telescope views reveal.

The black hole lies at the center of an elliptical galaxy called Messier 87 (M87), which is located roughly 55 million light-years from Earth. The black hole — the first, and only, black hole ever photographed — is about 6.5 billion times more massive than the sun and shoots out a stream of material, also known as a galactic jet. 

Using the National Science Foundation's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico, astronomers found that the jet is channeled by a corkscrew-shaped magnetic field that stretches nearly 3,300 light-years from M87's central black hole. This is the longest magnetic field yet detected in a galactic jet, according to a statement from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, which operates the VLA. 

"M87 is relatively near to us and its jet is very powerful, making it an excellent target for study," Jose L. Gomez, co-author of the study and an astrophysicist at the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia in Spain, said in the statement. "The clues it gives us can help us understand this very important and ubiquitous phenomenon in the universe."

Are the astrologers going to use black holes in their predictions?

I find it interesting how a smaller Galaxy has a super massive blackhole over 1000X more massive than ours

 

Its been theorized that black hole sizes and galaxy sizes tend to be proportional

 

The Milkyway is the 2nd largest Galaxy in our galactic group by size (after Andromeda) and possibly the largest in mass yet our blackhole of 4 million solar masses is kinda small for the size of our galaxy
