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
Using the Gemini North telescope, astronomers have detected the largest black hole jet ever seen in the early universe. It's twice as long as the Milky Way.
Astronomers found a monstrous jet powering through the early universe
These jets become elusive the farther back in time astronomers try to look because of the so-called cosmic microwave background. The ancient radiation, the earliest fossil of light from 380,000 years after the Big Bang, tends to swamp out more subtle signals.
Black holes seen 'cooking' their own food in fascinating discovery
New research shows black holes can trigger gas cooling, creating fuel for their own feeding. This process keeps them growing and active.
End to one of the greatest mysteries of the universe? Scientists discover what’s at the core of a black hole
From unifying quantum physics and gravity to working out what is dark matter, the universe has some deep questions that remain unanswered.
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.
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,
