MATA INDONESIA, NEW YORK – Photos with fairly sharp resolution of the galaxy in space The outermost area was successfully photographed by astronomers. Including Black Hole.
The photos are in high resolution. The photos managed to reveal the workings of the galaxy that has never been revealed in detail. Not only that, this photo can provide an understanding of the role of black holes in the formation of stars, planets and their formation. The high-resolution photo was born from radio waves.
Researchers think the photo will change our perspective on how galaxies evolve. Researchers study about radio waves from astronomical objects in the form of light. The reason is because it makes it possible to see things that are blocked by the earth’s atmosphere or dust and gas that exist in other galaxies.
Space is a dark place. However, if you look at the radio waves emitted, many areas of space emit bright light. This then prompts astronomers to look further into regions where stars can form or to the center of galaxies.
The research team succeeded in increasing the resolution of the radio image by connecting more than 70,000 small, one-meter-high antennas spread across nine European countries. It is not easy to combine radio signals with thousands of existing antennas.
The researchers have taken about 6 years to collect the signal from each antenna, convert the signal in digital form, and send it to the central processor. After that, all the data that has been captured by radio waves are combined into interesting pictures, both scientifically and interestingly to look at.
In this way, using a tour de force technique, Dr. Leah from Durham University in the UK. He said it took a long time to convert the data into an image with such a sharp resolution. Dr. Leah also expressed pride in being the first to see the extraordinary portrait.
At the top, there is a photo of Dr Morabito’s team members. The photo shows the galaxy is barely visible because it is in the middle of a jet of orange matter that is split into two sides.
The cause of this emission is due to the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy, the object with the strongest gravity, even light cannot escape its attraction. The black hole pulls matter into it, this pull creates a force around it and causes the material to spit out far into space.
Previously, the researchers observed the emission coming out of the black hole. Astronomers believe that the image represents a period of relative inactivity for the black hole so that less matter is emitting than usual. Therefore, the image shows researchers the “sleep cycle” of black holes.
Then there is a picture that shows how two galaxies collide with each other. The bright spot on the left is a picture of a stellar explosion that created a galactic wind blowing dust and gas.

The light from the galaxy originated when the universe was 2.6 billion years old. Above and below it are jets of material escaping from the black hole.
At first, it was difficult to study the formation of a galaxy. However, this time for the first time, astronomers, saw one of the structures on radio waves. These radio waves play an important role in informing how black holes interact with surrounding material.
These images prove to us all that galaxies are more than just a collection of stars and planets. A depiction of the Galaxy as a sun-forming factory, a dynamic planet that gets its power from a black hole.
Dr. Jackson said that to understand the evolution of galaxies, we must understand black holes. Black holes appear to have a fairly broad influence on the evolution of galaxies.
These high-resolution photos are a testament to what really happens when a supermassive black hole is launching a jet of material. These photos can also be information for astronomers to study the process of the formation of stars, planets, and the solar system. This long collection of research results has led to the publication of nine scientific papers on the dynamics of black holes in galaxies.
