Strange Universe Like a parasite sucking the life force out of its host, an international group of scientists have determined that a supermassive black hole is starving a galaxy of essential materials to make new stars.

Black holes are on a continuum of ultradense objects that form from the remnant cores of dead stars after they run out of fuel and collapse under gravity. White dwarfs form from stars up to about eight times the mass of the Sun, and have an upper mass limit of about 1.4 times the Sun's mass.

The energetic streams are together 23 million light-years in length—roughly as long as 140 Milky Way galaxies lined end to end

Black holes hold some of the universe’s greatest mysteries, with giant empty spots in space sucking in whatever enters their gravitational pull. However, the mystery is now growing as astronomers are now saying there could be a swarm of black holes moving across the Milky Way.

The largest known black hole jets, 23 million light years across, have been discovered in the distant universe. This pair of particle beams launched by a supermassive black hole is over a hundred times larger than our galaxy,
