#290 Don't we see a laser here?
From this post
Hmm .. from another thread and adapted a bit. Don’t we see a laser here? - @HanDeBruijn
@HanDeBruijn, the image shows a plasma confined to a “straight” magnetic line, not a laser. The stronger confinement (left) makes it tighter, hotter, and brighter. The plasma emits light that traces the magnetic line.
Another observation: On the right-hand side, the magnetic line has a slight downward curve inside the plasma emitting the radio lobe. A light beam would not curve like that.

off topic but weird imaging of the closest quasar from Hubble https://phys.org/news/2024-12-hubble-closest-quasar.html
Off topic? How so? Didn’t we have a lot of quasar / jet / drain pictures in the white dwarfs & black dwarfs thread lately?
A typical Phys.org piece of dogmatic drivel in which good quasar observational evidence is crammed into the SMBS of the imaginary SMBH fairy tale. The evidence would be a lot more interesting without the SMBH baggage which is just there to sustain the LCDM fairy tale. It is hard to overstate how LCDM orthodoxy obstructs a rational understanding of astrophysical observations.
