QuickTime
MPEG & AVI

Simulation of Jet Evolution
QuickTime
MPEG & AVI
This simulation illustrates the evolution of a magnetized jet of
high-energy particles as it moves at near the speed of light through a
low-density gas. Scientists believe that the western jet in XTE
J1550-564 developed its cometary shape by a similar process.
