War of the Worlds

It was Galaxy verse Galaxy. A crew of space and ground telescopes caught an image of a black hole in a "death star galaxy" (what) blasting another galaxy with a powerful stream of radiation and energy. No one has ever seen this action before. NASA was the team that released it for all of us to see on Monday (when). However, the person who discovered this amazing sight was Daniel Evans (who) of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (where). This galaxy was bullying a neighboring galaxy that was one-tenth its size. These Galaxies are both about 8 billion trillion miles from here but they are 24,000 light years away from each other. This bullying galaxy was called "death star galaxy" because of the way it treating the smaller galaxy. The good news it that Earth was not in the way of all of this. If it was, the deadly jet would have stripped away bits and pieces of the ozone layer. This would be terrible because then we would have nothing to protect us from the suns rays. I found this article very interesting because I also have never seen anything like it before. This reminds me that The Milky Way Galaxy isn't the only galaxy in all of outer space. Scientists wonder what was in this powerful stream of radiation and energy and how does it work. I also wonder this same question. I would definitely read this article because you learn a lot about our universe.
