Astronomers used Chandra and the U.S. National Science Foundation Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (NSF VLA) to study this black hole and its jet at a period they call “cosmic noon,” which occurred about three billion years after the universe began.

Spotted: ‘Death Star’ Black Holes in Action
Huge black holes are firing powerful beams of particles into space — and then changing their aim to fire at new targets.
Telescopes Show the Milky Way’s Black Hole is Ready for a Kick
A new study may help settle the question of how rapidly the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole is spinning.
