Black Holes Halt Star Formation with High-Energy Jets

Nothing can escape the gravitational pull of black holes, not even light; they draw in every bit of matter and energy passing beyond their event horizon. According to a new study, some of the heaviest black holes in the universe, weighing up to several billion solar masses and found in the cores of active galactic nuclei, use this property to emit high-energy jets in order to stop the star formation process in their home galaxy.
