Astronomers have detected an enormous black hole-powered jet that stretches an astonishing 200,000 light-years, making it ...

(THE CONVERSATION) The NASA project NEOWISE, which has given astronomers a detailed view of near-Earth objects – some of which could strike the Earth – ended its mission and burned on reentering the ...

By revealing a massive radio jet in the early universe, J1601+3102 offers a rare snapshot of early quasar activity.

Scientists have created the first-ever 3D maps of star-forming molecular clouds near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, ...

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 ...

Astronomers have made an exciting discovery—a massive radio jet stretching 200,000 light-years across from a distant quasar. This is the largest radio jet ever found in the early universe, and it ...

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 ...

The giant jet flips the script on the origins of these structures, which were once thought to be linked only to extremely ...

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.

From decades of astronomical observations, scientists know that most galaxies contain massive black holes at their centers.

The quasar in question is called J1601+3102. Its light comes to us from 1.2 billion years after the Big Bang. Quasars can ...
