Rome, June 3, 2023 – Hundreds of Mysterious luminous threadshorizontal or radial, was discovered by a group of researchers in the center of our galaxy milky way. They will be long, thin bodies of luminous gases, which could have been formed millions of years ago due to the interactions of The supermassive black hole Sagittarius A with the surrounding material. The filaments are 5 to 10 light-years across, and the study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters describes them as relatively short.
The study, which was reported by CNN, was conducted by Farhad Yousifzadeh Professor of Physics and Astronomy in Northwestern University’s Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, and collaborators. The first observations of the phenomenon were forty years ago, then in 2022 Yousefzadeh found hundreds of vertical threads paired and grouped in the same area. But with recent discoveries only some of them have been linked to black hole activity, not supernova explosions.
New residents of structures that They seem to point in the direction of the black holeHe reads a press release from the professor, who said he was surprised by what he found. We found that these threads are not random but seem to be related to the outflow of our black hole. “
Arch A is found at about 26,000 light years from Earth. “Meerkat notes have changed the rules of the game,” Yousefzadeh said. And even if they resemble the luminous filaments discovered in 1984, they are not caused by the same phenomenon: the vertical filaments surround the nucleus of the Milky Way, while the horizontal filaments seem to point to the black hole.
