A rapidly changing jet orientation in the stellar-mass black-hole system V404 Cygni, Published online: 29 April 2019; doi:10.1038/s41586-019-1152-0

The relativistic jets associated with the black-hole X-ray binary system V404 Cygni change their orientation on time scales of minutes to hours, implying that the direction of the jets is being affected by the dynamics of the surrounding accretion flow that powers them.
