Default Black hole 'bully' blasts galaxy
From BBC News Online

Quote:
A powerful jet of particles from a "supermassive" black hole has been seen blasting a nearby galaxy, according to the US space agency (Nasa).

Galaxies have been seen colliding before, but this form of galactic violence is rarely witnessed by astronomers.

The jet could have a profound effect on any planets in the jet's path and could also trigger a burst of star formation

Sorry Sticks... But it looks like JurkiS beat you to the story.

Although; I do forgive you, since the other post is a little on the broken English side.
