Supermassive black holes like Sagittarius A* at the center of our galaxy can become active periodically, releasing powerful plasma jets that could potentially damage Earth's atmosphere and threaten life if directed toward our planet, as evidenced by a similar event that occurred approximately 3.5 million years ago.

Giant Plasma Jets From Our Black Hole Could End Life on Earth #danger #space #blackholeAdded:
What if the black hole in our galaxy wakes up again? Scientists believe it already happened once. Around 3.5 million years ago, the center of the Milky Way suddenly exploded with energy, and the scars may still be visible today. At the center of our galaxy sits Sagittarius A* a black hole over 4 million times heavier than the sun.
Right now, it looks quiet, but scientists say something massive falling into it could switch everything back on.
And here's the disturbing part. If giant plasma jets ever pointed toward us, radiation could damage Earth's atmosphere and even threaten life itself. So, what if our galaxy isn't sleeping, but simply waiting?
