Entire Swarm of Black Holes Detected Moving Through The Milky Way
In any globular cluster, all its stars formed at the same time, from the same cloud of gas. The Milky Way has around 150 known globular clusters; these objects are excellent tools for studying, for example, the history of the Universe, or the dark matter content of the galaxies they orbit.
Biggest black hole jets ever seen span 140 Milky Way galaxies
An artist's illustration of the longest black hole jet system ever observed. Nicknamed Porphyrion after a mythological Greek giant, these jets span roughly 7 megaparsecs, or 23 million light- years. That is equivalent to lining up 140 Milky Way galaxies back-to-back. Credit: E. Wernquist / D. Nelson (IllustrisTNG Collaboration) / M. Oei
Biggest black hole jets ever seen are as long as 140 Milky Ways
The largest-ever black hole jets ever seen hint that these cosmic monsters may play an even more significant role in shaping galaxies than previously thought.
Astronomers Discover Record-Breaking Jets Escaping a Black Hole, the Longest Ever Seen
The energetic streams are together 23 million light-years in length—roughly as long as 140 Milky Way galaxies lined end to end

Astronomers find the biggest black hole jets ever – and they are astonishingly vast
Scientists have found the biggest pair of black hole jets ever seen. Such jets are vast blasts of radiation and particles that erupt out of supermassive black holes. Milky Way jets are the largest galaxy-made structures in the universe.
Astronomers Theorize There’s a Cluster of Black Holes Moving Around Our Galaxy
Black holes hold some of the universe’s greatest mysteries, with giant empty spots in space sucking in whatever enters their gravitational pull. However, the mystery is now growing as astronomers are now saying there could be a swarm of black holes moving across the Milky Way.
Truly Supermassive Black Hole Has Jets Spanning 23 Million Light-Years, The Biggest Ever Seen
The jets shooting out from an enormous black hole are larger than was thought theoretically possible, and may change ideas about how galaxies developed. This pair are the longest, and therefore most powerful,
Largest black hole jets ever seen are 23 million light years long
Astronomers found the biggest pair of black hole jets ever observed, stretching 23 million light years. and named this system Porphyrion.
