Thanks to the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in India, a team of astronomers has recently identified 53 new specimens ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A new study of light from quasars has provided astronomers with illuminating insights into the swirling clouds of gas that form stars and galaxies, proving that the clouds can shift ...

Astronomers have identified a remarkable population of distant quasars whose radio jets balloon to scales that make our own galaxy look compact, stretching to widths roughly 50 times larger than the ...
