science π AI builds video of distant black hole jet
Astronomers at Caltech created a detailed video showing a plasma jet from a supermassive black hole billions of light-years away. This visualization focuses on the blazar "3C 345," located 5.5 billion light-years away in the Hercules constellation. The research analyzed 116 radio telescope images collected between 1995 and 2022. Researchers used an AI neural-network algorithm named "Kine" to process the data. This method sharpened clarity by four times, allowing continuous tracking of the plasma movement. π
