Twisted Jet Confirms Most Extreme Binary Black Hole System in the Universe

Astronomers have confirmed that the blazar OJ 287 hosts the most extreme binary black hole system ever found. Using a global radio telescope array, they captured an ultra-sharp image showing a dramatically bent jet—evidence of two supermassive black holes locked in orbit. The system’s 12-year flare cycle and jet twists match predictions of a smaller companion black hole disturbing the primary’s disk. This discovery offers new insights into galaxy evolution, black hole mergers, and gravitational wave detection, making OJ 287 a prime target for future space observatories like LISA.
