Astronomers Discover Largest Radio Jet in the Early Universe

Astronomers discovered the largest radio jet in the early universe using the Low Frequency Array telescope, which is a network of radio telescopes throughout Europe.
The quasar, named J1601+3102, formed when the universe was less than 1.2 billion years old, just 9% of its current age.
The quasar powering this massive radio jet does not have an extreme black hole mass compared to other quasars.
The double-sided radio wave is estimated to be at least 200,000 light-years across.
