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.
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 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.
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,
