Phrases with «radio jets»

"Radio jets" refers to powerful streams of energy and matter that shoot out from the centers of some galaxies. These jets emit radio waves and travel across vast distances at close to the speed of light. They are created by supermassive black holes, which release immense amounts of energy as they consume nearby material. The study of radio jets helps scientists understand the physics of black holes and the processes happening in galaxies. Full definition
