Most Distant X-Ray Jet Discovered Provides Clues To Big BangMashall Space Flight Center -
The most distant jet ever observed was discovered in a quasar imaged by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. At 12 billion light years from Earth, this is the most distant jet ever detected.

thoughts: I’m trying to do what I think needs to do to get through this difficult time in our evolution as a species - and that is to share inspirational true stories. So many people I talk to feel ineffective in their ability to make the world better by responding to the problems that need to be addressed with positive action. I believe that part of the reason is because they look around and don’t see other people in their lives or those shown in mainstream media stepping up to the plate and doing good. What’s I believe is important in this world is to realize that every one of us needs to do their part in order for positive change to happen. Even if that part is to influence something bigger then oneself to take action - like, for example, writing a letter to a government body that is capable of creating massive change through legislation. The Great News Network exists to provide that often missing piece in mainstream media - deliver news stories of positive change happenning here and now.
Get inspired.
