A powerful quasar has caused a raging storm in a distant cosmic structure known as the "Teacup."

The quasar, which is powered by a supermassive black hole, is located at the center of a distant galaxy about 1.1 billion light-years from Earth. The galaxy, formally known as SDSS 1430+1339, hosts a teacup-shaped structure, in which the quasar is brewing.
