The photos show the jet produced by the black hole at the heart of the Centaurus A galaxy with ten times the precision and sixteen times the sharpness previously attainable. In a statement, astronomer Michael Janssen of the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy said, "This allows us for the first time to detect and analyse an extragalactic radio jet on scales smaller than the distance light travels in a day."
