Massive jets of material shooting from a black hole dwarf even the largest galaxies, scientists say
Astronomers have observed a massive pair of jets releasing from a supermassive black hole 7.5 billion light-years from Earth. The megastructure spans 23 million light-years in length, making these black hole jets the largest ever seen,
Biggest black hole jets ever seen span 140 Milky Way galaxies
An artist's illustration of the longest black hole jet system ever observed. Nicknamed Porphyrion after a mythological Greek giant, these jets span roughly 7 megaparsecs, or 23 million light- years. That is equivalent to lining up 140 Milky Way galaxies back-to-back. Credit: E. Wernquist / D. Nelson (IllustrisTNG Collaboration) / M. Oei

Ask Us Anything: Can the black hole in the center of our galaxy expand to our solar system?
Black holes are one of the most mysterious cosmic phenomena, despite how much we continue to learn about them. While considered a mathematical possibility for many years, the first black hole wasn’t discovered until Cygnus X-1 in 1971.
Faraway Black Hole Unleashes Record-Setting Energetic Jets
Two mighty beams of energy have been detected shooting in opposite directions from a supermassive black hole inside a distant galaxy - the largest such jets ever spotted, extending about 140 times the diameter of our vast Milky Way galaxy.
Scientists detect longest pair of jets streaming from a supermassive black hole
Scientists have discovered the longest pair of jets streaming from a black hole in a distant galaxy. The jets shooting hot plasma are the largest ever spotted – about as long as 140 Milky Way galaxies lined up end-to-end.
Black hole blasts largest jet ever seen at 23 million light-years long
The jets are erupting from a supermassive black hole at the heart of a galaxy located around 7.5 billion light-years away, meaning they are seen as they were when the 13.8 billion
Meet Porphyrion, the largest pair of black hole jets ever seen
The two plasma fountains, spanning 23 million light-years, could shape cosmic structures far beyond their home galaxy.
Biggest black hole jets ever seen are as long as 140 Milky Ways
The largest-ever black hole jets ever seen hint that these cosmic monsters may play an even more significant role in shaping galaxies than previously thought.
Entire Swarm of Black Holes Detected Moving Through The Milky Way
