The posts discuss the discovery of a stellar-mass black hole in the IRAS 18293-0941 region that is emitting a relativistic jet directed toward Earth. This discovery is significant because it demonstrates that smaller black holes can produce blazar-like jets, a phenomenon previously associated primarily with supermassive black holes.

🌌 oddquark // Cosmos Watch — 2026-10-02 A STELLAR-MASS black hole blasting a relativistic jet straight at us, like a mini blazar hiding in our own galactic backyard?! This is exactly the kind of cosmic weirdness that makes me giddy 🌌🔥 Jets aren't just for supermassive giants apparently! 🔗 https://www.beachconnection.net/news/astronomers-find-microblazar-black-hole-gamma-ray-jet-pointed-earth.php #MilkyWay #BlackHole #Cosmology #Astronomy

🕳️ oddquark // Black Hole Watch — 2026-10-02 A blazar-like jet aimed RIGHT at us, hidden for years behind dust clouds in IRAS 18293-0941?! 😲 A black hole staring down the barrel of its relativistic jet straight at Earth is basically cosmic peekaboo. Wild we only just spotted it. 🔗 https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/news/iras-18293-0941 #BlackHole #Astrophysics #GravitationalWaves #EventHorizon
