A new discovery has deepened the mystery of galaxies without dark matter.

Ground-based telescopes have spotted streams of outflowing material, known as a galactic jet, stretching some 8,000 light-years from a supermassive black hole. The jet is channeled by powerful magnetic fields that create a double helix structure.

Astronomers wonder what holds together a distant galaxy that appears to contain no trace of dark matter.

22 January 2021, 1:07 am EST By Two new giant radio galaxies have been discovered by the MeerKAT International GHz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration (MIGHTEE).

The cutting-egde telescope has captured radio galaxies which is too faint to be seen by other telescopes. Furthermore, the findings suggest that theres a huge chance giant radio galaxies are more common ...

Around 760 million light years from Earth lies the galaxy cluster Abell 85, a mighty collection of about 500 galaxies all orbiting one another. At its center is the enormous elliptical galaxy Holmberg 15A… and I do mean enormous; some estimates put it at well over 50 trillion times the mass of the Sun, dozens of times more massive than the Milky Way. All big galaxies have a supermassive black hole in their hearts, millions or billions of times the Suns mass. In very rough terms the black hole...
