Some 1.8 billion light-years from Earth, a supermassive black hole is doing something the modern universe rarely permits: growing with the ferocious appetite of the cosmos's earliest giants. The galaxy SDSS J110546.07+145202.4 has seen its radio brightness surge twentyfold and hold, a sustained brilliance that mirrors the primordial black holes of the universe's first billion years. In finding this ancient behavior so close to home, astronomers have stumbled upon a rare gift — a living laboratory where the deep past can be studied in the present tense.

⚖
Article uses vivid, anthropomorphic language ('ravenous,' 'voracious,' 'messy eaters') to describe black hole behavior, presenting scientific findings with engaging but emotionally charged framing.
