NASA's Hubble Space Telescope finds increased nova activity near M87 supermassive black hole's jet.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has found that a jet from a supermassive black hole in galaxy M87, located 54 million light-years away, seems to increase the frequency of nova eruptions in nearby stars. Observations revealed twice as many novae near the jet compared to other regions, raising questions about the interaction between black hole jets and their surroundings. Researchers are exploring various theories to explain this phenomenon.
