Cosmic cannibals expelled jet from stars at a rate exceeding one-third the speed of light, travelling at around 114,000 kilometres per second.Recently, astronomers ‘cosmic cannibals,’ – a type of jet of matter expelled from stars are actually traveling at speeds of over one-third the speed of light.

Co-author Jakob van den Eijnden from the University of Warwick, said: “The explosions occurred on neutron stars, which are incredibly dense and notorious for the enormous gravitational pull that makes them swallow gas from their surroundings – a gravitational pull that is only surpassed by black holes.”

This study as per the scientists shows promise for further discoveries and advancements in the understanding of the cosmos. Additionally, these jets distribute elements synthesized in stars, enriching the interstellar medium and providing the building blocks for new celestial bodies and potentially life.
