Black hole jet aims at Earth from newly-discovered ultramassive galaxy.

Astronomers have discovered that a jet from a galaxy with a black hole at its center has changed direction and is now pointing directly towards Earth. The galaxy, PBC J2333.9-2343, has been reclassified as a giant radio galaxy with a blazar in its core. Blazars are galaxies powered by black holes that shoot jets of high-energy particles towards Earth. The direction change appears to have taken place in the same nuclear outburst originating from the blazar's active galactic nucleus. The cause of the shift in the direction of jets is still unknown.
