Add The California Post on Google Astronomers at Caltech captured mind-blowing footage of a supermassive black hole spewing a jet of plasma straight toward Earth.

The school’s astrophysicists released a high-resolution video of plasma coming out of a black hole millions of light-years away.

Video shows two different views of “blazar 3C 345” that is located around 5.5 billion light-years away from Earth in the northern constellation of Hercules. 27 years of telescope measurements were combined into the making of the video.

One view shows how the jet of plasma would look like if filmed normally versus “kine.” Kine is a new video-reconstruction algorithm that weaves images into a detailed way.
