Researchers said on Thursday that they had discovered twin-lobed radio jets they suspect were formed when the universe was ...

"Interestingly, the quasar powering this massive radio jet does not have an extreme black hole mass compared to other quasars ...

Astronomers have discovered a truly ancient monster: a radio jet 200,000 light-years wide, originating from when the universe ...

Researchers using the Event Horizon Telescope have significantly advanced our understanding of the supermassive black hole at ...

The passing gravitational waves “stretch or contract the universe by around 20 meters [about 65 feet] or so,” says Matthew ...

From decades of astronomical observations, scientists know that most galaxies contain massive black holes at their centers.

By revealing a massive radio jet in the early universe, J1601+3102 offers a rare snapshot of early quasar activity.

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 ...

In our local universe, these radio jets are not uncommon, with a small fraction being found ... radio jet does not have an extreme black hole mass compared to other quasars," says Gloudemans.

Making use of the Gemini North telescope, one half of the International Gemini Observatory, funded in part by the U.S.

While you might think that you’d need a huge black hole to form a huge jet, that doesn’t seem to be the case. The black hole right in the center of this jet is on the smaller side compared to ...
