Astronomers have identified a radio galaxy showing evidence of four distinct episodes of jet activity, a rare cosmic record that could sharpen understanding of how supermassive black holes switch on, shut down and restart over time. The finding adds weight to the idea that black hole jets are not one-off events but recurring engines that can reshape galaxies and regulate star formation across vast periods.
