Black Hole Cluster Emits Gas Cloud 6 Million Light Years Wide



Just think about what they are talking about....
Space.com just reported that scientists have identified a black hole emitting a gargantuan cloud.

To begin with, light travelling 186,000 miles per second takes 6 million years to span from one end to another of this cosmic blob.

Space.com writes:

"The plasma cloud is located about 300 million light years away near the Coma Cluster and is spread across a vast region of space thought to contain several galaxies with supermassive black holes, or active galactic nuclei (AGN), embedded at their centers."
