Astronomers at the University of Western Sydney, Australia, used the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) to study the galaxy “NGC 2663”, about 93 million light-years away.
In the study, the black hole jet was reached by detecting radio waves in the center of the galaxy.
ONE MILLION LIGHT YEARS…
It was stated that the jet spread out to a distance of one million light years.
It was shared that the jet, consisting of particles scattered by the black hole, is 50 times larger than the galaxy itself.
“BIGGEST BLACK HOUSE JET EVER OBSERVED”
Velibor Velovic from Western Sydney University, Australia, announced that the largest black hole jet ever observed was encountered.
“Our Evolution Map of the Universe (EMU) project, which will use the ASKAP telescope to count in the sky, shows evidence of intergalactic matter pushing back the edges of the jet,” said Velovic. used the phrase.
The work has reportedly been approved for publication in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. (AA)
