The black hole from a distance, the galaxy was intensively monitored by NASA, and the researchers of the American space agency managed to capture an image that stunned the entire humanity after it was revealed. More precisely, in 2003, those from NASA managed to capture an image of a black hole throwing a very powerful jet of gas into the universe, and this in a galaxy that is at a great distance from Earth, but even so, everything was recorded.
The black hole that you can see in the image below is a supermassive one, and it is located in the galaxy NGC 1068, right in its center, a region where many stars and planets are usually formed. The way in which these gases are thrown into the universe by this black hole is based on a very large cloud of gases, with a mass that would be approximately 5 million times greater than that of the sun, so we are talking about something huge.

The black hole would have this cloudy formation stretched over distances that vary from just a few light years, and up to 300 light years, so we are talking about colossal areas of the universe covered by them. The black hole normally emits jets of this kind only when it swallows a large cosmic object, i.e. a star or a planet, but this time the people from NASA did not say if they observed such an event happening .
"This composite X-ray (blue and green) and optical (red) image from 2003 of the active galaxy, NGC 1068, shows gas blowing in a high-speed wind from the vicinity of a central supermassive black hole. Regions of intense star formation in the inner spiral arms of the galaxy are highlighted by both optical and X-ray emission. The elongated shape of the gas cloud is thought to be due to the channeling effect of a torus or donut cloud , of cold gas and dust surrounding the black hole. The torus, which appears as an elongated white blob in the accompanying X-ray images, has a mass of about 5 million Suns. Radio observations indicate that the torus extends from a few light years from the black hole to about 300 light years.”
The black hole it is a very miserable object, and usually it is not observed in such types of events, but this time those from NASA can boast of such an achievement. Of course, we are talking about an event that happens quite rarely in the universe, but even so, NASA seems to have managed to look at this black hole at the right time to be able to capture an image like the amazing one above.
The black hole from this galaxy has been monitored by NASA, but so far no other similar event has been confirmed, although it is possible to find out more data at any time.
