Well, if we are seeing Phoenix A feeding, then it is NOT feeding "right now", but WAS feeding 5.7 billion years ago.

The fact that light, the fastest thing in the universe, takes three full weeks just to cross this monster's diameter absolutely breaks my brain. Our entire solar system is just a microscopic speck to Phoenix A.

Watching Phoenix A wake up 5.7 billion years ago. No idea what's going on out there right now

Um... no. It awoke about 6 billion years ago. We're only just seeing it now.

Having watched the “Moon Woke Up” series the idea of a black hole waking up is quite frankly terrifying.

An event horizon that takes light three weeks to cross is just terrifying. It’s wild how Phoenix A challenges everything we know about black hole formation. This documentary gave me chills—absolute cosmic horror at its finest!
