Astronomers have discovered an extraordinary new giant radio galaxy with plasma jets 32 times the size of our Milky Way.
We can judge the value of any scientific endeavour based on how much of our knowledge it overturns or transforms.
Radio galaxies already feature mind-bending physics, with supermassive black holes accreting matter at the galactic core and sending out vast plasma jets that glow at radio frequencies. Those larger ...
A trio of astronomers from the University of Tokyo and Niigata University have found what they describe as "peculiar embedded ...
