Astronomers just detected the biggest black hole jets ever seen—and named them Porphyrion
The largest known black hole jets, 23 million light years across, have been discovered in the distant universe. This pair of particle beams launched by a supermassive black hole is over a hundred times larger than our galaxy,
Black Hole Spews Energy of 'Trillions of Suns' in Record-Breaking Eruptions
The largest-ever pair of radiation jets has been discovered bursting out of a distant supermassive black hole, burning brighter than 100 galaxies, or over a trillion stars. From the end of one jet to the end of the other,
Faraway black hole unleashes record-setting energetic jets
Two mighty beams of energy have been detected shooting in opposite directions from a supermassive black hole inside a distant galaxy - the largest such jets ever spotted, extending about 140 times the diameter of our vast Milky Way galaxy.
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.
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
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.
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,
