Astronomers discover giant radio galaxy Inkathazo measuring over 3 million light-years

Astronomers have discovered a giant radio galaxy named Inkathazo, measuring over 3 million light-years across, more than 30 times the size of the Milky Way. This galaxy has unusual plasma jets that challenge existing scientific models. Located in a galaxy cluster, Inkathazo's jets behave differently than expected, raising questions about their formation. Researchers used South Africa's MeerKAT telescope to create detailed maps of the galaxy, revealing unexpected energy boosts in its jets. The discovery of Inkathazo is part of a growing trend, with more giant radio galaxies being found due to advanced telescopes. This finding suggests there may be many more undiscovered galaxies in the southern sky.
