Largest Radio Jet, Twice As Wide As Milky Way Galaxy, Found In Distant Universe discovery the enormous radio jet offers valuable insight of early universe. Astrophysical Journal Letter published on February 6 details. Astronomers his detected raise jets w/help of 2 powerful radio telescopes. By using these advanced telescopes to observe distant cosmic phenomena, astronomers can essentially see back in time. Radio jet spotted spans over 200,000 light-years connected to black holes. A light-yr distance travelled by light in 1-yr, is 5.88 trillion miles (9.46 trillion km's).
The quasar responsible formation of the 2-lobed radio jet created when universe was just 1.2 billion years old, or 9% of its current age. Unlike most quasars, this one is smaller, weighing 450 million times the mass of our Sun. Astronomy at California Institute of Technology, said that scientists have long wondered if long, powerful jets could be seen in distant universe b"cos the black holes produce them acted differently were less massive in early universe.
