260-million-year-old radio galaxy fossils discovered

Wormholes are finally explained and an 81 year old tries to pass one of the toughest exams. Aug 27, 2022 [Blueprint]( Just when you think you have seen all there is to see in space, scientists uncover something new. Astronomers [now claim]( to have found the oldest fossil radio galaxy yet discovered, hiding in a cluster. The brightest galaxy in the cluster erupted as a result of supermassive black hole activity, blowing massive bubbles of radio light into space. But before we explore this phenomenon further, take a look at this video that explores whether solar panels can be recycled. Good morning. I’m Loukia, an Editor at IE. This is The Blueprint. Let’s get started. [Play]VIDEO OF THE DAY [Can solar panels be recycled?]( [solar panels]( Some experts believe so.

A second team of astronomers led by Gopal Krishna of the University of Mumbai also discovered a pair of younger lobes that are linked to the same parent galaxy. The combined object is a rare example of a double pair of lobes, implying that the galaxy's supermassive black hole erupted episodically. Episodic activity of Black Holes and radio lobes Radio lobes can be found all over the universe. The Milky Way has radio lobes, too. They are created when a supermassive black hole enters an active phase and begins slurping matter from the surrounding space. Radio lobes can affect the intergalactic medium, the tenuous gas between galaxies, because they can extend millions of light-years, much further than the galaxies from which they erupt. Understanding this medium and the recurring, episodic activity of the supermassive black holes that generate it can be improved by studying these structures.

Instead of traveling for many millions of years from one galaxy to another, under the right conditions, one could theoretically [use a wormhole]( to cut the travel time down to hours or minutes. While scientists have no evidence that wormholes actually exist in our world, they’re good tools to help astrophysicists think about space and time. They may also answer age-old questions about what the universe looks like.
