Relativistic jet

A narrow, highly collimated relativistic jet emerging in a straight line from a compact central source, shown as an intensely bright blue-white to white-blue plasma beam with a glowing core and faint bluish to blue-violet outer halo. The beam has sharp, tapered edges, a slightly tapering cylindrical form, and fades outward from the bright base, conveying extreme speed and high energy. Along its length, subtle knot-like brighter segments may be visible within the otherwise smooth directional plume. Style note: clean scientific clipart style with soft glow, minimal shading, and moderate detail.
