There is a supermassive black hole at the center of nearly every big galaxy—including ours, the Milky Way (it’s called ...

The study also implies that these giant jets may be more common than previously thought. Since the discovery of these high-speed fountains in the 1970s, astronomers have been curious about how far ...

Giant radio galaxies resemble ‘cosmic fountains’ – jets of superheated gas that are ejected into near-empty space from their spinning supermassive black holes. The research team – led by ...

This creates powerful jets that look like fountains in the cosmos. Giant radio galaxies are even less common. They account for only 5% of all radio galaxies and take their name from the fact that ...

There are potentially thousands of undiscovered giant cosmic fountains. Thanks to world-class telescopes like MeerKAT and LOFAR – and the power of supercomputers – there's plenty more to ...
