Astronomers used an array of telescopes to find the most massive radio jet in the early universe. The celestial object is hundreds of thousands of light-years long.

Jets as enormous as Porphyrion would be difficult to detect in the early universe because leftover radiation from the big bang drowns out the radio light released by the jets, Gloudemans said.

Astronomers used an array of telescopes to find the most massive radio jet in the early universe. The celestial object is hundreds of thousands of light-years long.

However, astronomers have long questioned whether long, powerful jets could be spotted in the distant universe because the black holes responsible for them behaved differently in the early universe ...

Astronomers have spotted a massive radio jet in the early universe, which they say is the largest known from that era. The jet is at least 200,000 light-years long, making it twice the width of ...

The jets dubbed Porphyrion stretch for 23 million light years, equal to 140 Milky Ways lined up side by side. They erupted from a black hole that existed when the universe was half its current age ...

An artist's illustration of the longest black hole jet system ever observed. Nicknamed Porphyrion after a mythological Greek giant, these jets span roughly 7 megaparsecs, or 23 million light-years ...

Astronomers discovered the largest plasma jets from a black hole, named ‘Porphyrion,’ spanning 23 million light-years, influencing nearby galaxies.

Astronomers Discover Largest Black Hole Jets Ever Seen: About 140 Milky Way Diameters in Size The researchers were surprised to see that there were many giant jets in pairs.

Named Porphyrion (another one of those Greek giants), these jets originate from a black hole roughly 7.5 billion light-years from Earth. And they pack quite the punch, delivering a power output ...
