M87* and the Jets
@ehtelescope imaged a black hole in the M87 galaxy; previously, @NASASpitzer saw jets and shockwaves emanating from it in infrared light. Teamwork! https://go.nasa.gov/2mVkNtH

http://Confused.com How can anything escape from a black hole? I thought even light couldn't evade it's grasp?
We are seeing the jets coming out of the sides of the black hole because the black hole in M87 is tilted such that one of the jets is pointing nearly at us so we are nearly directly looking at the black hole's north pole where the jet originates, just a little offset.

So it's not coming out of its side, but form its top. The Earth's vantage point just happens to give us a view of the top of the black hole. If we were to swing around differing directions, then we would see the jet tilted at varying angles.

Basically you have the accretion disk around the equator of the black hole, and then you have the jets which come out of the poles and are perpendicular to the plane of the accretion disk.
