On the other side of the universe, a supermassive black hole is devouring enormous quantities of matter and spewing material in a jet that 150 light years long. One scientist identifies the situation as black hole indigestion, and boy, is it pretty. The European Southern Observatory snapped some photos of the chaotic process using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array ALMA in C

They spotted similar activity in the galaxy PKS 1830-211, pictured in less dramatic resolution below. It was all a surprise to the European Space Organization scientists who observed it. The ALMA observation of this case of black hole indigestion has been completely serendipitous, said Sebastien Muller in a statement. A very careful look at this unexpected behaviour led us to the conclusion that we were observing, just by a very luck
