Cosmic anomaly hints at frightening future for Milky Way
- Astronomers found that the galaxy 2MASX J23453268-0449256 has a supermassive black hole and powerful jets, challenging current understanding of galaxies.
- This galaxy is three times the size of the Milky Way and contains more dark matter, which is crucial for its stability.
- Joydeep Bagchi stated this discovery may force a reevaluation of how galaxies evolve under extreme conditions.
- Researchers believe the Milky Way could experience similar high-energy jets in the future, potentially threatening life on Earth due to increased radiation exposure.
