Black hole jets ‘dance’ in the wind from a massive companion star

Black holes are among the most extreme objects in the universe. They can fling material outwards at speeds close to that of light, in powerful beams of plasma known as jets. These jets are thought to be among the most energetic phenomena in the cosmos.
