Record-breaking black hole jets discovered in faraway galaxy - The eruptions span 23 million light-years from end to end, which is equivalent to lining up 140 Milky Way galaxies back to back.

In other words, one black hole is continuously erupting energy and plasma into space across a distance more than 140 times longer than our whole galaxy, and it’s carrying the power of trillions of stars. Oei and his colleagues nicknamed the pair Porphyrion. “The Milky Way would be a little dot in those two giant eruptions,” says Oei in a statement.
