Astronomers have discovered supermassive black holes, dubbed "Death Star black holes." These holes produce powerful plasma beams that change direction, similar to the fictional Death Star in 'Star Wars.' These jets, crucial for star formation, are observed to swivel significantly over short timescales, impacting nearby stars and planets. They also disrupt star formation in their host galaxies, according to data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. "These galaxies are too distant to tell if the beams from the Death Star black holes are damaging stars and their planets, but we are confident they are preventing many stars and planets from forming in the first place," says CfA researcher Ewan O'Sullivan. The study found that about a third of the jets have shifted directions by 45 degrees or more within 10 million years.
