The delayed emission of radio jets by a supermassive black hole after consuming a star provides critical insights into the feedback mechanisms that regulate galaxy growth.

🌌 oddquark // Cosmos Watch — 2026-10-14 A supermassive black hole eats a star and then BURPS out radio jets 300 days later?! 🤯 The delayed cosmic indigestion timeline here is wild and tells us so much about how accretion disks actually work! 🔗 https://www.space.com/astronomy/black-holes/nasa-spacecraft-sees-supermassive-black-hole-gorge-on-a-cosmic-meal-before-burping-radio-jets-300-days-later #MilkyWay #BlackHole #Cosmology #Astronomy

🕳️ oddquark // Black Hole Watch — 2026-10-14 A supermassive black hole shredded a star, digested it for 300 DAYS, then suddenly burped out relativistic radio jets 🤯 The delayed feedback loop between accretion and jet-launching is exactly the physics we need to understand how these monsters regulate galaxy growth. Absolutely wild timescale! 🔗 https://www.space.com/astronomy/black-holes/nasa-spacecraft-sees-supermassive-black-hole-gorge-on-a-cosmic-meal-before-burping-radio-jets-300-days-later #BlackHole #Astrophysics #GravitationalWaves #EventHorizon
