Astronomers reveal largest radio jet ever seen in the early universe
From decades of astronomical observations, scientists know that most galaxies contain massive black holes at their centers. The gas and dust falling into these black holes liberates an enormous amount of energy as a result of friction,
Astronomers Discover Colossal Radio Jet From Early Universe
The giant jet flips the script on the origins of these structures, which were once thought to be linked only to extremely large black holes.
Scientists discover largest black hole jet ever seen in the early universe — its twice as long as our galaxy
"Interestingly, the quasar powering this massive radio jet does not have an extreme black hole mass compared to other quasars."
Astronomers found a monstrous jet powering through the early universe
Scientists have found a quasar spewing a gigantic radio jet in space at a time in the early universe when such objects are nearly impossible to find. Quasars, a portmanteau for "quasi-stellar objects,
Researchers find largest black hole jet from early universe
Researchers said on Thursday that they had discovered twin-lobed radio jets they suspect were formed when the universe was 1.2 billion years old, stretching at least twice the length of the Milky Way galaxy.
Largest radio jet ever seen in the early universe
Astronomers have characterized the largest-ever early-Universe radio jet. Historically, such large radio jets have remained elusive in the distant Universe. With these observations, astronomers have valuable new insights into when the first jets formed in the Universe and how they impacted the evolution of galaxies.
Astronomers Discover the Most Colossal Black Hole Jet Ever Observed in the Early Universe
Astronomers have detected an enormous black hole-powered jet that stretches an astonishing 200,000 light-years, making it twice as long as the Milky Way. This colossal cosmic jet, erupting from the quasar J1601+3102,
Astronomers find dark matter dominating in early universe galaxies
An international team of researchers has found dark matter dominating the halos of two supermassive black holes in galaxies roughly 13 billion light years away. Their study, published in The Astrophysical Journal,
A 200,000 light-year wide monster jet from the early universe
Astronomers have discovered a truly ancient monster: a radio jet 200,000 light-years wide, originating from when the universe ...
Telescopes spy a monster radio jet streaming from a bright and early object in the universe
Telescopes around the world have spotted a monster radio jet streaming from a quasar dating back to the first 1 billion years ...
A 200,000-Light-Year Jet Ignites New Questions About the Early Cosmos
Astronomers have discovered a massive, double-lobed radio jet stretching 200,000 light-years from a quasar that existed when ...
Supercomputer simulations of giant radio galaxy formation challenge current theoretical models
Enabled by supercomputing, University of Pretoria (UP) researchers have led an international team of astronomers that has ...
