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.
Scientists discover black holes spinning unexpectedly fast: 'You’re essentially looking at its fossil record'
Scientists have discovered that some supermassive black holes rotate much more rapidly than expected. The discovery came as the result of a new form of "black hole archeology" that links black hole spins to the gas and dust they have consumed to grow over 7 billion years of cosmic history.
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.
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,
