How do black hole jets accelerate? Using both EHT and lower-frequency data for several black holes, a team of EHT scientists have now made advances in answering this long-standing question. The study is now published in Astronomy & Astrophysics. #blackhole #astronomy More here: tinyurl.com/4mjt8pph

The #core of the #Earth spins around a slightly different axis compared to the #mantle. In this animation we start in a space frame and switch gradually to the frame spinning with the mantle. In that frame the core appears to wobble. The mantle precesses and the core, being fluid, lags a bit. 🧪 🔭
