making it twice as long as the width of the Milky Way. Even more surprisingly, the black hole that powers the quasar from which this jet erupts, designated J1601+3102, is relatively small.

As their name implies, the entities are enormous (Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of our Milky Way is 4.3 million times bigger than the sun.) They're also scarily destructive and ...
