Fast and furious: the gaseous outflows of quasars in the early Universe were extreme

nature.com·May 13, 2026

Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope indicate that galaxy-scale outflows from quasars were more frequent and powerful about one billion years after the Big Bang, suggesting they played a significant role in regulating the evolution of early massive galaxies.

The discovery that quasar-driven outflows were more frequent and powerful shortly after the Big Bang provides new insights into the regulatory mechanisms of early galaxy formation. This could lead to significant advancements in our understanding of cosmic evolution, with potential implications for developing more accurate models of galaxy development.
