"Earth in the Crosshairs: Reclassified Galaxy Reveals Supermassive Black Hole Aimed at Us"

Scientists have reclassified a galaxy, PBC J2333.9-2343, after discovering that the supermassive black hole in its center has changed direction and is now pointing directly at Earth. The galaxy was previously classified as a giant radio galaxy, but it is now a 'blazar' with jet points pointing at Earth. The change in direction is believed to be due to a collision with another galaxy. The jet material from the black hole has created two huge lobes on either side of the galaxy, which are the most immediately notable thing when observed with radio waves.
