00:00Black holes, millions of times different in mass, may launch jets at the same critical feeding threshold.
00:06A new astronomy study suggests these cosmic giants follow a surprising shared rule.
00:11Researchers examined events where supermassive black holes tear apart passing stars,
00:16pulling some debris inward while ejecting other material into space.
00:20The team analyzed 20 events and modeled 10 in detail using observations across multiple wavelengths.
00:26They found that delayed jets appeared when a black hole's feeding rate fell to about 2% of the Eddington
00:32limit, a benchmark for matter accretion.
00:34That same approximate threshold is associated with jet formation in much smaller black holes in our own Milky Way.
00:42The finding could help astronomers predict when to point radio telescopes at these rare events.
00:47It may reveal how black holes of vastly different sizes operate under similar physical rules.

00:59That means we are in fact that you don't need to be able to remove some kind of black holes
00:59in this file.
00:59There are a lot of black holes in the background, and this video contains the mouth of 9-0-3
00:59-0-3-2, and the other black holes in the past.
00:59I'm going to see the videos.
00:59Like, trust me...
00:59Well, I'll see the video.
