HOW AMAZING IS THIS!!!

Last night the MeerKAT radio telescope took an observation for me. EVERY circled object is a previously unknown supermassive black hole beaming relativistic jets into space, millions of light years from us. Thought you guys might like to see it too. 🤩📡🌟
INCIDENTALLY the thing MeerKAT was looking at for me was a TDE, a black hole that tore apart a star, but the FOV is SO HUGE that it didn't even make it into the screen shot! TDE was detected! But that'll have to wait for the paper. :)
