X-ray/Radio Image of Sgr A* and Jet (IMAGE) Chandra X-ray Center Caption New evidence has been uncovered for the presence of a jet of high-energy particles blasting out of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). This image of Sgr A* and the region around it contains some of the data used in the study, with X-rays from Chandra (purple) and radio emission from the Very Large Array (blue). Jets of high-energy particles are found throughout the Universe on large and small scales. The likely discovery of a jet from Sgr A* helps astronomers learn more about the giant black hole, including how it is spinning. Credit X-ray: NASA/CXC/UCLA/Z.
