The black hole from a distant galaxy was captured in images for the first time by the researchers who noticed something they have never seen before, but something that is very important for their future research. More precisely, the scientists noticed that the black hole in that galaxy emanates what appear to be shadows, extending from its location to the area where the center of the galaxy to which it currently belongs is located.
The black hole it was monitored with the Hubble space telescope, the most powerful of all those in its category, and scientists were really surprised by what they observed there. Each of these shadows extends over distances of 36.000 light-years, so extremely large, and this was one of the elements that so surprised the researchers who observed the phenomenon in the galaxy far from Earth.
Black Hole: INCREDIBLE Premiere Surprised by Researchers
The black hole it does not emit light, on the contrary, it absorbs it, so that everything that is seen and seems to be light, is actually just the energy emanated by the accretion process through which it goes, that is, the destruction of various stars, planets, etc. Scientists are also of the opinion that a very long trail of dust resulting from the destruction of the various cosmic objects that passed through the black hole is also emanating from that black hole.
"We think we have found evidence that there is probably dust all over the galaxy that scatters the light from the black hole that accumulates in the active core of the galaxy, and that light can illuminate almost the entire galaxy. We know that this galaxy recently had a merger with another galaxy and that could throw dust everywhere. It is also possible that black hole jets throw dust from near the core.”
The black hole had for the first time recorded images of these shadows during December 2019, but the researchers who analyzed them for the first time, failed to observe what was happening well enough. After several observations made by them, finally they could see exactly what is happening in the galaxy where this black hole resides, and this surprised the researchers the most.
The black hole from that galaxy will continue to be monitored very carefully, scientists hoping to discover as much information as possible about what is happening so far away from us.
