Radio maps of 3C273 obtained with very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) have been limited by low dynamic range and poor north-south resolution resulting from the low declination of this quasar. Dramatic improvement can now be achieved using larger arrays and antennas in the Southern Hemisphere. A new VLBI map, made at 5 GHz with angular resolution and dynamic range unsurpassed at this frequency for this source, shows a narrow jet extending to a projected distance of about 125/h parsecs from the core. Superluminal motion exists out to at least roughly 46/h parsecs. Successive superluminal components emerge from the core and appear to move on a fixed curved path with similar speeds of about 1 milliarcseconds per year.
