The Hyades star cluster is 153 light years away[0]. A supernova 30 - 1000 light years distant is expected to have an effect on the Earth's biosphere[1]. If one of the black holes goes active, and if the jet is pointed at us, what might be the effect?

For stellar mass black holes, I don't think jets would have a significant effect this far away. The jets that travel really long distances are associated with supermassive black holes (billions of solar masses) powering quasars.
- huqedato 3y agoNull! The BH is way too small. We're talking about jet when dealing with SMBHs.
- moeffju 3y agoThat's "super massive", not "stellar mass", right?
