Scientific American reports that
Astronomers have discovered the largest explosion in the universe — one that has endured for more than 100 million years and generated as much energy as hundreds of millions of gamma-ray bursts. The source of this mayhem? An apparently insatiable supermassive black hole. …
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory … images show two cavities, each some 650,000 light-years across, that were scoured out by jets of energy emanating from the black hole, which itself may be a billion times the mass of our sun.
