Jets from a faraway black hole break records and make us rethink what we know about the universe.

Scientists found the biggest jets ever seen coming from a black hole. These jets are like long streams of hot gas and are as long as 140 Milky Way galaxies lined up.

The jets were found using a special telescope that sees radio waves. This discovery was published in a science journal called Nature.

Black holes usually suck things in, but sometimes they shoot out hot gas in jets. These jets can be short, but the ones from big black holes can get really long.

The jets are 23 million light-years long, which is much longer than any others found before. That's like traveling the distance across our Milky Way galaxy 250 times!

Scientists didn't think they would find such long jets so early in the universe's history. Studying these jets might tell us how the universe changed after the Big Bang.
