Supermassive black hole ejects matter for six years after consuming a star

A supermassive black hole is emitting a powerful jet of matter six years after consuming a star, an unprecedented duration and intensity. Scientists observed the black hole, located 665 million light years away, shredding a star. The resulting jet of material began two years later and has been intensifying for six years. This event is unusual due to the prolonged and increasing brightness of the radio wave emissions, which are now 50 times stronger than initially detected.
