Radio galaxies

Radio galaxies are a type of galaxy that emit powerful radio waves from their centers and outer regions, often featuring two large jets extending thousands of light-years. These jets are fueled by supermassive black holes at the galaxy’s core, which pull in surrounding matter. As material accelerates around the black hole, it produces intense energy that creates the radio emissions detectable across vast distances. Radio galaxies are important for understanding galaxy evolution and black hole activity, showcasing how colossal black holes can influence their host galaxies and their surroundings in the universe.
