What would happen if the Milky Way's black hole erupted? This distant galaxy paints a terrifying picture

The observation of titanic jets emerging from the supermassive black hole at the heart of a distant galaxy could be a grim prediction of the Milky Way's future.

For me it seems that the center toroidal object has erupted many times before. And the two gigantic invisible matter bubbles are the record of it. That ringed accelerator blows perpendicular to the majority of MW components. And probably wobbles some. Giving cone like bubble stools.

That’s what I see. What ever happens at the center, will not be seen or known for 25K years after it.

It might be erupting right now. With huge bright beams.

This story seems to have substantial infusion of click-bait.

The jets from the poles of black holes are usually going perpendicular to their galactic planes defined by the orbits of the stars in the galaxy. So, they are not "pointed at" the planets in the galaxy. The article acts like that is a random direction. I think there are some galaxies where the rotation of the central black hole is not in the normal alignment with the galactic disk, but that seems to be theorized to have been caused by galactic collisions and the merger of supermassive black holes.

A more reasonable article should have addressed what the effects would be expected to be on Earth if our own central black hole "eats" enough matter to produce polar jets the size of the remnants that we have already observed having been emitted in the past.

And, that might also have some implications for quantifying the Drake Equation. If the emissions did affect life on planets in our galaxy. But, the jet remnants that have been detected are thought to be small, and emitted "a few million years ago" (see https://www.mpg.de/21748380/0326-radi-sagittarius-a-150300-x ). So, it does not look like Sag A eating a "small meal" is really going to be that dangerous to us.

But, I do wonder about the effects on the galactic disk from a central black hole that is at a quasar level of activity. Would that prevent/destroy life in its galaxy? If all such galaxies had such histories, that could affect how long life has had to form and evolve in the galaxy.

Those emitting galaxies have to be still for a very long time for those straight lines to be built. This fits no theory.
