An ancient, fast-feeding quasar is breaking the rules of how black holes consume matter and generate galaxy-shaping jets.

No idea. OP appear to be a cool space pic and a claim about cosmic events.

[–] osanna@thebrainbin.org 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

it displays as an article for me.

[–] DahGangalang 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So I'm using the Voyager App.

At the top, I get the pic, then post title, then a one line description "body of the article" of how there's a quasar expanding some 13x normal speed.

That's way too sparse of details for me to take with any seriousness and I'd really like to read more.

Are you saying yours shows with more info than that?

No, the URL in the post is to a .jpg

that's really weird. it's loading normally for me.

Doesn't seem to be a link to an article on the browser or Voyager for me.

No URL in the Boost app either, same problem others are reporting.

There is no link - using webUI. You done fucked up.

Why is it that most of the time when the laws of physics are broken, black holes or dark matter are responsible?
(not spacist, just asking questions!)

Because the physics of black holes aren't well understood. And when these rule breakers are found, it's an opportunity to update what we know about the universe.

No, Thursday. Because I never quite got the idea of Thursdays.
