Hold onto your telescopes, space fans! 🔭 Scientists just spotted the longest jets ever observed erupting from a supermassive black hole in a galaxy far, far away. These cosmic firehoses of hot plasma stretch an eye-popping 140 Milky Way galaxies lined up end-to-end—talk about intergalactic drama! 💥
\"This discovery blows our previous records out of the cosmic water,\" says astrophysicist Eileen Meyer (not part of the study), comparing it to finding a skyscraper-sized wave in an ocean of stardust. The jets were captured using cutting-edge images from a powerful European radio telescope network, proving once again that space is cooler than sci-fi.
Published in the Nature journal this week, this finding could help unravel how black holes shape entire galaxies. Who knew celestial powerhouses could be such show-offs? 🌟
