Summary

DescriptionM87-jets.jpg	English: The energy jet of M87. Glow is caused by synchrotron radiation, high-energy electrons moving along a spiral track along the magnetic field, first discovered in 1956 by Geoffrey R. Burbidge'a in M87, confirming predictions Hannes Alfvén and Nicolai Herlofsona of 1950 and Iosif Samuilovicha Shklovskyego 1953. Polski: Energetyczny dżet z M87. Świecenie jest spowodowane przez promieniowanie synchrotronowe, wysokoenergetyczne elektrony poruszające się po spiralnych torach, wzdłuż pól magnetycznych, po raz pierwszy wykryte w 1956 roku przez Geoffrey'a R. Burbidge'a w M87 potwierdzając przewidywania Hannesa Alfvéna i Nicolaia Herlofsona z 1950 roku oraz Iosifa Samuilovicha Shklovskyego z 1953.
