One of his main achievements was inventing a «magnetic nozzle» that could spray the plasma particles in a high - speed jet.

Roger Blandford is the coauthor of the Blandford - Znajek Process, the leading explanation for how black holes produce jets of plasma traveling at near light speed, but what's plasma?

But there are two jets — one that goes up and one that goes down — and these are associated with the region very close to the black hole and those jets contain plasmas that are moving at relativistic speeds, that is to say, speeds close to that of light.

Even protostars — these are young stars that are just forming and making their own planetary disks and so on — they make very powerful outflows called, the same sort of jets obviously moving at slower speeds, but they are full of plasma, that is flowing out at high speed; white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes big and small, they seem able to do this task, it really seems to be a very common phenomenon.

Astronomers using the National Science Foundation's Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) have discovered jets of plasma blasted from the cores of distant galaxies at speeds within one - tenth of one percent of the speed of light, placing these plasma jets among the fastest objects yet seen in the Universe.

Jets of plasma stream out of the black hole close to the speed of light, and some distance away, they inflate into giant bubbles of hot gas.
