The Hubble Space Telescope image you see above is from last year, and it showcases several galaxies that inhabit a pocket of our universe roughly 5.94 billion light-years away from us. Astronomers, however, have been particularly intrigued by what isn't visible in the image, but rather only "seen" through radio emissions.
Blasting from the central galaxy — home to a black hole more than 400 million times our sun — is a powerful jet that could provide fresh clues about how galaxies and their black holes evolve in tandem over eons. First, however, we need to figure out where this jet in the Hubble Telescope image came from in the first place.
