Science NASA recently revealed that astronomers have discovered evidence for an extraordinarily long jet of particles coming from a supermassive black hole in the early universe with the help of NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The source of this jet is a quasar i.e. a rapidly growing supermassive black hole – named PSO J352.4034-15.3373 (PJ352-15 for short) located at the centre of a young galaxy. The image of this jet has been shared by NASA on its official NASA Chandra X-ray Instagram page. The caption for the image states that “the source of this 160,000-light-year-long jet is a rapidly growing supermassive #BlackHole, or quasar, located about 12.7 billion light years away from Earth. X-rays detected from the jet were emitted when the #Universe was only 0.98 billion years old — less than 1/10 of the Universe's present age. This result could help explain how the biggest black holes formed at a very early time in the Universe's history”.
