Jets from powerful black holes can point astronomers toward where − and where not − to look for life in the universe

One of the most powerful objects in the universe is a spinning black hole spraying out highly energetic particles.

Black holes produce enormous amounts of energy that can influence galaxies.

Study of black holes and their jets can give researchers insight into where potentially habitable worlds might be in universe.

This idea is key to understanding where intelligence could have emerged in universe and matured in its black hole.

David Garofalo has built a black hole model to point out environments with the right kind of black holes to produce the greatest number of planets without spraying them with X-rays.

The environments had black holes whose powerful jets enhanced the rate of star formation, but never experienced a bout of tilted jets in corotation.
