Almost all big galaxies are thought to harbour a supermassive black hole in their cores. Many of which create jets of high-energy material, like those seen in this picture. But there’s something in this picture that just been discovered for the first time — new stars are forming within the violent jets of material being blasted from a supermassive black hole! Can you spot them?
