A research team headed by Martijn Oei, a Dutch PhD student, has identified a radio galaxy—of at least 16 million light-years long—by a stroke of luck. The plasma plumes pair is the hugest structure made by a galaxy known so far. The result challenges some long-believed hypotheses about the evolution of radio galaxies.

Researchers have used machine learning to create a cosmic map that allows them to predict the distribution of dark matter.
Durham’s space scientists are helping to build the European Extremely Large Telescope. Credit: ESO We’re at the forefront of research that is furthering our understanding of the universe and the exploration of space. Durham’s research spans from black holes to dark matter, planet formation to galaxy evolution and the Cosmic Web that binds the universe together. We also work on building some the biggest and best new telescopes. Our astronomers and cosmologists observe and simulate the universe as we seek to unravel its mysteries. Red or blue quasars?
