Largest radio jet ever seen in early universe

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.
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.
Giant Radio Jet Found in Early Universe by Researchers
A team of astronomers, including researchers from our top-rated Physics department, have discovered the largest radio jet ever seen in the early
Gemini North teams up with LOFAR to reveal largest radio jet ever seen in the early universe
Making use of the Gemini North telescope, one half of the International Gemini Observatory, funded in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation and operated by NSF NOIRLab, astronomers have characterized the largest-ever early-Universe radio jet.
Spectacular Jet Over 200,000 Light-Years Across Is Largest Ever Seen In The Early Universe
The quasar in question is called J1601+3102. Its light comes to us from 1.2 billion years after the Big Bang. Quasars can sometimes weigh billions of times our Sun, but this one has a more modest mass, reaching 450 million times our Sun’s mass.
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.
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 of the universe
Telescopes capture billion-year-old monster radio wave slicing through space
At double the width of our Milky Way galaxy, this jet of radio waves is the biggest ever detected so early in the universe's history, astronomers reported Thursday.
