Black hole jets may decide the fate of entire galaxies
Powerful black hole jets can affect star-forming gas far beyond a galaxy's edge, potentially deciding its future. These jets keep the gas hot and prevent it from falling inward. The effect is felt over hundreds of thousands of light-years.
Why it's good news: It highlights the complex dynamics at play in galaxies, showing that even distant phenomena can have significant effects on entire systems.
