PARIS, Aug. 21 (UPI) -- The European Space Agency says the Hubble Space Telescope has detailed giant, but delicate, filaments shaped by a strong magnetic field in galaxy NGC 1275.
ESA astronomers said the filaments "are the only visible-light manifestation of the intricate relationship between the black hole hosted at the center of the galaxy and the surrounding cluster gas." The scientists said the filaments provide important clues about how giant black holes affect their surrounding environment.
