Astronomers Captured Exploding Supermassive Black Hole Jets From The Early Universe

Astronomers have managed to capture the first high-resolution image of disturbed gaseous clouds in a galaxy 11 billion light-years away. The team used Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array(ALMA) to observe this interesting object known as MG J0414+0534. The team observed that the disturbance is produced by young powerful jets emitted from a supermassive black hole residing at the heart of the host galaxy. A notable feature of MG J0414+0534 is that the pathways of light coming from it to Earth are prominently deteriorated by the gravity of another ‘lensing’ galaxy between MG J0414+0534 and us, creating notable magnification. Astronomers believe this event will help to shed light on the mystery of the evolutionary process of galaxies in the early Universe.
