New Image of Heart of Milky Way Galaxy Reveals Mysterious Structures – Filaments Trace Ancient Black Hole Eruptions

PROHABA.CO – A new image of the heart of the Milky Way galaxy reveals mysterious structures we’ve never seen before.

Astronomers discovered hundreds of strange rope-like structures or filaments at the center of our galaxy.

This structure, they think, could possibly be used to trace the path of ancient black hole eruptions.

The findings, which were later published in The Astrophysical Journal Letter, suggest that each of these previously unknown filaments is between 5 and 10 light-years long.

This size is thousands of times the distance between the Sun and Pluto, but is only visible at radio wavelengths.

This means that the structure was most likely created by a burst of high-energy particles invisible to the naked eye.

Structures associated with black holes quoted Live Science, Sunday (4/6/2023) when viewed, hundreds of these filaments appear to point directly at the center of the supermassive black hole of the Milky Way galaxy.

This suggests that the structures may be remnants or the resulting effects of the explosion of an ancient high-energy black hole that tore through the surrounding gas cloud.

“It was surprising to find a new population of structures that appear to point toward the black hole,” said Farhad Yusef-Zadeh, professor of physics and astronomy at Northwestern University in Illinois.

“I was completely stunned when I saw this.

We also found that the filaments were not random, but seemed to be related to the flow of black holes in the Milky Way.”

The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, nicknamed Sagittarius A*, is a cosmic monster with a mass of more than 4 million suns.

Its strong gravitational pull holds galaxies together, but its voracious appetite has also resulted in severe cases of interstellar disturbances.

Previous radio observations of Sgr A* by Yusef-Zadeh’s team found enormous energy bubbles, towering 25,000 light-years above each side of the black hole’s abdomen.
