Global resolution: Radio telescope network captures image of distant black hole jet

The sharpest images of the universe are created when radio telescopes around the world work together. For the first time, the world's largest network of radio telescopes, EVN, has observed together with South Africa's MeerKAT, the southern hemisphere's most powerful radio telescope. The images, of a distant black hole jet, open up new possibilities for cosmic discoveries and international cooperation.
