NASA telescope finds leak in our Galaxy’s black hole
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has detected a leak from the supermassive black hole of our Milky Way. Sagittarius A*. The black hole is at the center of our galaxy. The mass of this black hole is 4.1 million times the mass of the Sun. The Hubble Space Telescope has caught the emission of a torch-like jet. The leak was discovered by a team led by Professor Gerald Cecil of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Such an event happens in several thousand years
Scientists of the US space agency NASA have revealed that the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole is leaking and a black hole named Sagittarius A* periodically emits a blowtorch-like jet. This event happens once in several thousand years. Hydrogen-filled clouds are formed in space due to the leakage of black holes.
Hubble Telescope finds evidence
Scientists have come to this conclusion by studying the wavelengths found from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and many other types of telescopes for research. The team of scientists said that the data for this research was taken from the Hubble and Chandra Telescope as well as the ALMA Radio Telescope in the Atacama Desert of Chile and the Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico. Although Hubble has not yet taken a picture of the jet. It is being told as ‘Phantom Jet’. Scientists said that Hubble has helped to find evidence that this flame is producing giant hydrogen clouds.
NASA said that astronomers have caught a glowing cloud of hydrogen near the black hole. A thin flame emanating from the black hole is slowly pushing the surrounding clouds. This flame was born from a black hole about 2000 years ago.
