Radio astronomers contain used a radio telescope network the size of the soil to zoom in on a unique phenomenon in a distant galaxy: a jet activated by a star being consumed by a supermassive black hole. The record-sharp observations reveal a compact and surprisingly slowly moving source of radio waves,with details published in a paper in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. The results will also be presented at the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science in Athens, Greece, and on Friday 8 July 2016.
