Pair of huge plasma jets spotted blasting out of gigantic black hole

Astronomers have discovered two massive plasma jets, named Porphyrion, blasting from a supermassive black hole. These record-breaking jets measure 23 million light-years long, equivalent to 140 Milky Ways side by side. Spotted by Europe's Lofar telescope during a sky survey, Porphyrion is located in a galaxy 7.5 billion light-years away. Scientists believe such giant jets may play a role in shaping the universe's evolution by influencing galaxy formation and heating the cosmic web. The discovery suggests a connection between small-scale black holes and large-scale cosmic structures.
