NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has detected powerful black hole jets emanating from a galaxy 11.6 billion light-years away. These jets, formed during the universe's "cosmic noon," are illuminated by cosmic microwave background radiation. Analysis reveals particles in the jets travel at 92% to 99% the speed of light, offering insights into black hole behavior and galactic development.
