Active galaxies:  Light jets near light speed

Tom Jones1

What creates the high-speed jets of material that emerge from quasars, radio galaxies and other active galactic nuclei? On page 457 of this issue1, Wardle et al. report the detection of a subtle but telling feature in the radio emission from the inner jet of the violently variable quasar 3C279.
