It’s the Arkylians and they’re coming for the Galaxy.

I haven't come to terms with this yet:

Does dark matter matter?

Like smoke rings, only spewed from a dying black hole as gravity rings.

Radio galaxies and their relatives, radio-loud quasars and blazars, are types of active galaxy nuclei that are very luminous at radio wavelengths, with luminosities up to 1039 W between 10 MHz and 100 GHz.[1] The radio emission is due to the synchrotron process. The observed structure in radio emission is determined by the interaction between twin jets and the external medium, modified by the effects of relativistic beaming. The host galaxies are almost exclusively large elliptical galaxies. Radio-loud active galaxies can be detected at large distances, making them valuable tools for observational cosmology. Recently, much work has been done on the effects of these objects on the intergalactic medium, particularly in galaxy groups and clusters.

All objects were found away from the Milky Way's galactic plane and are around 1 arcminute across (for comparison, the moon's diameter is 31 arcminutes).

What is the point of this comparison? Arcminutes are a measurement of angle, 1/60th of a degree. Without knowing distance to these objects, the angle measurement is kinda useless, aside from us knowing that they appear to be 1/31st the size of the moon. (Also, the moon isn't always "31 arcminutes" wide, is that at a particular apsides? The average distance?)
