Mysterious Gas Threads: Black Hole's Cosmic Riddle

In the heart of our Milky Way galaxy lies a cosmic mystery. Astronomers have uncovered hundreds of peculiar threads of hot gas, possibly originating from Sagittarius A*, our galaxy's resident supermassive black hole. These intriguing filaments, detected using data from South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope, exist in unexpected horizontal alignment, unlike the vertically aligned filaments found in the 1980s. Even more curiously, these horizontal strands of gas are racing away from Sagittarius A*, potentially toward the outer regions where Earth resides. Researchers speculate that a powerful jet blast from the black hole may have stretched the gas into these thread-like structures. This unfolding cosmic drama could offer profound insights into the formation of our galaxy and its interaction with the black hole at its heart."
