Celestial Architects: Mapping the Universe's Winged Radio Galaxies
About this episode
Astronomers using LOFAR identified more than a thousand rare winged radio galaxies with X- and Z-shaped structures formed by jets from supermassive black holes.
The discoveries provide new insight into how these jets shift over time, interact with intergalactic space, and shape the long-term evolution of galaxies.
