Astronomers had only 116 observations of the jet erupting from blazar 3C 345 across 27 years. An AI system turned them into the highest-resolution continuous reconstruction yet—and revealed features appearing to travel 10–13 times faster than light.

A neural-field reconstruction joined 116 VLBA epochs into a continuous model of 3C 345, mapping apparent superluminal motion while exposing important interpolation limits.

Astronomers had only 116 observations of the jet erupting from blazar 3C 345 across 27 years. An AI system turned them into the highest-resolution continuous reconstruction yet—and revealed features appearing to travel 10–13 times faster than light.
Astronomers did not film the jet of 3C 345 continuously for 27 years. They observed it 116 times between 1995 and 2022, then used a neural representation to infer one changing radio image consistent … [Read Full Story on Space Daily →](https://spacedaily.com/t-3c345-kine-ai-jet-continuous-reconstruction/)
