Giant jets of subatomic particles moving at nearly the speed of light have been found coming from thousands of galaxies across the Universe, but always from elliptical galaxies or galaxies in the process of merging. However, using the combined power of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, the Very Large Array (radio observatory) and the 8-meter Gemini-South Telescope, astronomers discovered a huge jet coming from a spiral galaxy similar to our own Milky Way. Composite images show the galaxy, called 0313-192, which is the first spiral galaxy known to be producing a giant radio-emitting jet.
