April 19 (UPI) -- New data from the Chandra X-ray observatory has revealed the heart beat-like pulses of a faraway supermassive blackhole.
Black holes are mostly thought of as consumers of matter, but the mysterious objects also pump matter and energy back out into their environment. The pulses emanating from the supermassive black hole found at the center of NGC 4696, a large elliptical galaxy located 145 million light-years away, have far-reaching effects.
