Black Hole Emits a 1,000-Light-Year-Wide Gas Bubble 145
PhrostyMcByte writes "12 million light-years away, in the outer spiral of galaxy NGC 7793, a bubble of hot gas approximately 1,000 light-years in diameter can be found shooting out of a black hole — one of the most powerful jets of energy ever seen. (Abstract available at Nature.) The bubble has been growing for approximately 200,000 years, and is expanding at around 1,000,000 kilometers per hour."

Yo mama so unimaginative she can't come up with a good joke given ample material. Apparently it's hereditary.

Not so much emit as throw away, as a fat kid does with the a wrapper around a candy bar.
