Astronomers have identified a radio galaxy whose structure preserves evidence of four separate episodes of jet activity, offering a rare window into how supermassive black holes switch on, shut down and reignite over cosmic time. The finding adds weight to the view that black hole feedback is episodic rather than continuous, with implications for how galaxies grow and how energy is distributed through surrounding space.
