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.
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 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.
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.
Spectacular Jet Over 200,000 Light-Years Across Is Largest Ever Seen In The Early Universe
Galaxies in a quasar state can release powerful jets from their active supermassive black holes. The jets can extend far into intergalactic space, even for millions of light-years. The process for many objects started a long time ago,
