Mini-Jet Found Near Milky Way’s Supermassive Black Hole

The video discusses a supermassive black hole in the Milky Way, over 4 million times the mass of the sun, which shows signs of past activity through jets and radiation. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has provided evidence of these jets interacting with hydrogen clouds, creating expanding bubbles. Historical outbursts have been powerful enough to illuminate distant gas structures like the Magellanic stream. Future activity could result in a spectacular display.

How far did the powerful burst from the black hole illuminate a gaseous structure?
