Space Odities

NASA's Chandra X-Ray space telescope has discovered a exhaust vent in a supermassive black hole in our own milky way.The black hole is Sagittarius A, which is about 14.6 million miles across. It's also 26,000 light years away from us, making us pretty safe from being devoured.The vent which was discovered in linked to a chimney formation in the Milky Way's disk. It's funneling hot gas away from the black hole. It's also located about 700 light-years away from the regions center.

Scientists have found a strange ring in space, and they are calling it the ' Big Ring '. It's about 1.3 billion light years in size, and it's made up of galaxies and galaxy structures.However, these types of things shouldn't exist. According to the cosmological principle, some of the universe should be similar with no irregularities.Neither of these two ultra-large structures is easy to explain in our current understanding of the universe. UCLan PhD student Alexia LopezAstronomers are trying to find a way to explain why these things exist. According to Alexia, one possibility is that the Big Ring could be related to Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAOs). These come from oscillations in the early universe, and could possibly appear as spherical shells in the arrangement of ga...
