Back from the dead, a black hole is erupting after a 100-million-year hiatus
SMRTR summary
A supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy J1007+3540 has awakened after lying dormant for approximately 100 million years, now shooting a one-million-light-year-long stream of particles and gas into space. Radio telescope images captured this rare "cosmic volcano" eruption, revealing both the new jet and remnants from previous outbursts that show how such black hole activity shapes surrounding galaxy clusters and influences star formation across vast cosmic distances.
