Black holes are often thought of in terms of sucking things in, but in some cases they also fling stuff out as well. When this happens matter gets ionized and fired out from the top and bottom of the black holes. These violent and powerful phenomena are known as black hole jets. The biggest of these are made by supermassive black holes and can be up to several million light years in size. And now a team has seen the biggest yet. It’s around 7 megaparsecs, or 23 million light years, in size.

To put that another way, if you take the Milky Way as being 100,000 light years across then that's like 233 milky way galaxies stacked on top of each other end to end. That is a full six and a half million light years bigger than the maximum size astronomers theorised these jets to be.
