'The Milky Way would be a little dot in these two giant eruptions,' said Martijn Oei, a postdoctoral researcher at the California Institute of Technology. Dr. Oei led the team that made the discovery, which was reported in Nature on Sept. 18 and announced on the journal's cover with an illustration reminiscent of a 'Star Wars' poster.

The discovery raises new questions of how such black holes could affect the evolution and structure of the universe. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
