Google News • 1/20/2026 – 1/22/2026
Summary
Astronomers have discovered a powerful black hole jet that is shutting down an entire galaxy. This finding includes the first observation of a galaxy-wide wobbling black hole jet. Additionally, a nearby galaxy is being torn apart by its own supermassive black hole, revealing anomalous activity that was unexpected. The NSF Very Large Array has contributed to this discovery by revealing a record-breaking stream of super-heated gas from the nearby galaxy.
