TL;DR Summary

Astronomers have observed supermassive black holes changing the direction of their powerful particle jets, akin to the Death Star in Star Wars. Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Very Long Baseline Array, scientists found that these jets can reorient by up to 90 degrees over millions of years, potentially impacting star formation in galaxies. The research, published in The Astrophysical Journal, suggests that material falling into black holes at different angles may cause these shifts.
