Telescopes spy a monster radio jet streaming from a bright and early object in the universe

Read Time:30 Second


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. At double the width of our Milky Way Galaxy, this jet of radio waves is the biggest ever detected in the early universe. Astronomers announced the discovery Thursday. They say radio jets like this are not uncommon in our cosmic neighborhood, but elusive in the distant early universe. The double-sided radio wave is estimated to be at least 200,000 light-years across. Quasars are among the universe’s brightest objects.
