Largest Radio Jet, Twice As Wide As Milky Way Galaxy, Found In Distant Universe
Astronomers have found a massive radio jet, stretching across at least 200,000 light-years in the distant universe. The object is twice the width of the Milky Way galaxy.

Astronomers Capture Supermassive Black Hole Plasma Jets at Birth
For the first time, plasma jets from a supermassive black hole have been observed in real time. Located 270 million light-years away in galaxy 1ES 1927+654, the jets traveled at one-third the speed of light. Emerging in 2024 after a radio flare in 2023, the jets broke through dense gas near the black hole, which has a mass 1.4 billion times that of...

NASA’s Chandra Telescope Observes Mysterious 'Knots' Blasting from Nearby Black Hole Jets
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has unveiled mysterious "knots" in the jet of a supermassive black hole in Centaurus A, a nearby galaxy. These bright, fast-moving features exhibit a higher speed in X-rays than in radio wavelengths, hinting at unexplored physics in black hole jets. Despite financial uncertainties surrounding Chandra's operations,...

Chandra X-ray Observatory Spots Unusual Knots in Black Hole Jets
Astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have found knots moving at different speeds within jets blasted by the black hole at the centre of the Centaurus A galaxy. The X-ray data revealed that these knots travel faster in X-ray wavelengths than in radio wavelengths. This discovery raises questions about how these jets work, with astronome...

James Webb Space Telescope Uncovers Surprising Dust Formation Near Supermassive Black Hole
James Webb Space Telescope images have uncovered an unexpected dust formation around a supermassive black hole, showing that gas collisions, not black hole radiation, heat the dust. This breakthrough by Newcastle University’s team challenges existing theories and offers new perspectives on galaxy evolution.

Persona 3 Remake and Jet Set Radio Reboot Footage Reportedly Leaked Online
Gameplay footage of the long-rumoured Persona 3 remake and a Jet Set Radio reboot has reportedly surfaced online. The leak supposedly stems from a 2021 internal meeting at SEGA Japan and features a small clip of Persona 3 protagonist Yukari Takeba firing a barrage of arrows at a Shadow. The footage also features cinematics for 2022’s Sonic Fronti...

NASA Formally Retires Mars InSight Lander 4 Years After Its Arrival on Red Planet
NASA has formally retired its Mars InSight lander, the first robotic probe specially designed to study the deep interior of a distant world, four years after it arrived on the surface of the red planet, the USÂ space agency announced on Wednesday. Mission controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) near Los Angeles determined the mission ...

Mysterious Reverse Lighting or Gigantic Jets From 2018 Explained on Detailed 3D Study
Thunderstorm lighting can also strike upwards from the clouds and the phenomena are called the gigantic jets. Unraveling this, scientists conducted a detailed 3D study of the massive Oklahoma electrical discharge that took place on May 14, 2018. It is considered to be the most powerful gigantic jet studied so far.
