Scientists say they have found the largest jets of energy ever observed shooting out of a black hole in a distant galaxy.
The jets extend 23 million light years from end to end. That is about 140 times the width of our Milky Way Galaxy. The galaxy responsible is estimated to be 7.5 billion light years from Earth.
The scientists observed the structures using the Low-Frequency Array, or LOFAR, radio telescope network centered in the Netherlands.
Violent, highly energetic events around a black hole in the galaxy are the cause of the jets. A black hole is often the remains of a super-massive star that collapses. It is so massive that even light cannot escape its powerful gravity.
