Astronomers have identified a remarkable population of distant quasars whose radio jets balloon to scales that make our own galaxy look compact, stretching to widths roughly 50 times larger than the ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Astronomers have observed two distant galaxies - both possessing roughly as many stars as our Milky Way - careening toward each other before their inevitable merger at a time ...

A supermassive black hole in the early Universe has been spotted blasting out powerful jets of plasma that are at least twice as long as the Milky Way is wide. Its host galaxy is a quasar called ...

A monster jet of radio waves was discovered by astronomers. It’s double the width of our Milky Way galaxy and the jet is shooting out of a quasar. The quasar formed when the universe was about 1.2 ...

Astronomers have discovered a massive black hole jet that is three times bigger than the Milky Way. The jet is known as Quasar J1601+3102, and it was first spotted by astronomers using the Low ...

A team of astrophysicists say quasars, some of the most brilliant phenomena in the universe, are likely caused by collisions between galaxies. Quasars are a type of active galactic nuclei; they lurk ...

For the first time, astronomers have seen the image of a distant quasar split into multiple images by the effects of a cloud of ionized gas in our own Milky Way Galaxy. Such events were predicted as ...
