This colossal structure, named Inkathazo, which translates to ‘trouble’ in the African languages of Xhosa and Zulu, was detected by the advanced MeerKAT telescope in South Africa. It has baffled researchers due to its unique characteristics and the complexities of its physics. Giant radio galaxies (GRGs) are known for their expansive plasma jets that reach across intergalactic space. These jets originate from the supermassive black holes at the center of their host galaxies, emitting
