Astronomers using the National Science Foundation's Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) have discovered jets of plasma blasted from the cores of distant galaxies at speeds within one - tenth of one percent of the speed of light, placing these plasma jets among the fastest objects yet seen in the Universe.

Because the jet features are moving toward Earth at almost the same speed as the radio waves they emit, they can appear to move across the sky at faster - than - light speeds.

Astronomers using a world - wide collection of radio telescopes, including the National Science Foundation's Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), have made a dramatic «movie» of a voracious, superdense neutron star repeatedly spitting out subatomic particles at nearly the speed of light into two narrow jets as it pulls material from a companion star.

The disk becomes so hot it emits X-rays, and also spits out «jets» of subatomic particles at nearly the speed of light.

Before crossing the point of no return (the event horizon), this material generates huge amounts of electromagnetic radiation and, in the case of quasars, blasts out two jets of subatomic particles that travel in opposite directions at nearly the speed of light.

This phenomenon, called superluminal motion, is not real, but rather is an illusion caused by the fact that the material in the jet is moving at nearly the speed of light almost directly toward the observer.

In addition, «lobes» of bright radio emission were pushed outward by the jets at about half the speed of light.

The black hole shoots jets of particles through the star at nearly the speed of light and astronomers believe they create the gamma - ray bursts.

Giant jets of subatomic particles moving at nearly the speed of light have been found coming from thousands of galaxies across the Universe, but always from elliptical galaxies or galaxies in the process of merging — until now.
