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."
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.
A cosmic powerhouse: Astronomers discover colossal black hole jet stretching 200,000 light years
Surprisingly, the black hole driving this colossal jet is modest by quasar standards, weighing 450 million times the mass of the sun. This discovery challenges long-held assumptions about the conditions required for such powerful jets to form in the early universe.
Astronomers Find a 200,000-Light-Year Black Hole Jet in the Early Universe
A quasar from the early universe has revealed the longest black hole jet ever detected, spanning 200,000 light-years.
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.
Largest radio jet ever seen provides a glimpse of the young universe
By revealing a massive radio jet in the early universe, J1601+3102 offers a rare snapshot of early quasar activity.
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.
Rogue Black Hole 5000 Light Years Away - Hubble Finds Evidence
The Hubble Space Telescope has found evidence of a "wandering" black hole about 5000 light years away in the Milky Way galaxy. Astronomers estimate that there could be 100 million black holes wandering around our galaxy.
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,
Unlocking the Universe’s Dark Ages: How a Quasar’s Wild Flicker Could Change Cosmic History
Astronomers have identified a quasar that may help explain how the universe’s “dark ages” finally ended. Astronomers have ...
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 ...
