On the right, the radio jet of 3C273
observed with
MERLIN at 400 MHz. Osservations VLBI
observations (on the left) have shown that in the innermost part of the
jet there are regions which move away from the nucleus at a speed close to
that of light. The images show radio data observed at four different
times. (Credits: MERLIN) | |
