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.

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?

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

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

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

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.

We should call it Friday.

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