Astronomers have made an astonishing discovery that holds the potential to unlock new secrets about the enigmatic black hole at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy. They have detected hundreds of mysterious filaments, resembling spokes on a wheel, pointing towards the supermassive black hole known as Sagittarius A*.
Located 25,000 light years away from Earth, these filaments offer valuable insights into the black hole’s spin and accretion disk orientation. The findings, made possible by advanced technology like the MeerKAT telescope, have astounded scientists and are shedding light on the complex dynamics of our galactic center. The research is ongoing, and further observations are expected to deepen our understanding of these captivating structures.
