NASA's RXTE helps pinpoint launch of 'Bullets' in a Black Hole's Jet
Washington, Jan 11 : Using observations from NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) satellite and the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) radio telescope, an international team of astronomers has identified the moment when a black hole in our galaxy launched superfast knots of gas into space.
