(NLDO) - NASA's observatory captured the moment a terrifying jet from a monster black hole was blocked by an object lurking in the dark.


Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have spotted an unusual signal as a super-powerful jet fired by a monster black hole collided with an unknown object in its path.

According to NASA, the discovery was made in a galaxy called Centaurus A, located about 12 million light-years from Earth.

Centaurus A has long been of particular interest to scientists because it contains a raging monster black hole, a supermassive black hole located at the center of the galaxy.

This monster constantly emits spectacular beams, shooting across the universe like giant cannonballs.

The black hole releases this stream of high-energy particles not from within the black hole, but from the strong gravitational and magnetic fields surrounding it.

But another anomaly was discovered by a team of researchers from the University of Michigan, the University of Maryland, Pennsylvania State University (USA), the University of Toulouse (France) and the Israel Institute of Technology.

Writing in the scientific journal The Astrophysical Journal, the team of authors said they determined that the jet from this black hole was moving at nearly the speed of light.

Analyzing the deepest X-ray image ever taken of Centaurus A, they also found a V-shaped emission patch connected to a bright X-ray source, something that had never been identified before.

Called C4, the source lies within the galaxy, blocking one of the black hole's terrifying jets.

The identity of this ghostly object and what forces created the V-shape remain a mystery as the most powerful telescopes available to mankind cannot clearly see it.

However, scientists believe that this object could be a large star, possibly with a companion.

The bright X-rays produced by C4 may be produced by collisions between particles in the stellar wind and the jet it receives from the black hole.
