Black Hole Emits a 1,000-Light-Year-Wide Gas Bubble
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."

Have gnu, will travel.
Not so much emit as throw away, as a fat kid does with the a wrapper around a candy bar.
According to my FoxNews Guide to the Universe, the natives considered cubic ones to be eyesores, lowering local real-estate values.

Can somebody tell "slide rule" here, that Mr. Science left the building, about an hour ago?
It's now fart jokes, "all the way down."

I guess BP was drilling there, too.
