Neutron Star Observation: Jet Ejects at Remarkable One-Third the Speed of Light

A team of astronomers, including several Dutch scientists, has, for the first time, measured the speed of a jet of gas ejected from a neutron star. The gas in the jet was found to move at only a third of the speed of light. The researchers publish th
