Two -lobed radio jet is the largest radio jet seen in the early universe.

It formed when the universe was less than 10% of its current age of 13.8 billion years .

The discovery is providing a window into the early days of the universe, shedding light on when the first jets formed and how they shaped galaxies.

A separate team of astronomers, also using LOFAR , announced last fall the detection of Porphyrion, a gargantuan pair of jets spanning a whopping 23 million light-years.

The jet formed by J1601+3102 is 115 times more massive than the newly discovered two -lobed radio jet.

It was found 7.5 billion light years away from Earth in what’s called the “nearby” universe, rather than the early universe.
