These violent delights have violet ends 💀💜⁣ ⁣ Data from NASAChandraXray and NASAHubble come together in this image to highlight the beautiful but violent events occurring at the center of a violet-colored galaxy 230 million light-years away.⁣ ⁣ The telescopes’ team-up reveals the presence of a supermassive black hole and the jets it generates. Gas swirling near the black hole results in bubbles of material blowing into the galaxy cluster, and long gaseous filaments stretch out beyond the galaxy into the X-ray-emitting gas that fills the cluster.⁣ ⁣ Composite photos like these provide important clues about how black holes affect their surrounding environment. The X-ray data from Chandra contribute to the soft purple shells around the outside of the center. Dust lanes, star-forming regions, hydrogen filaments, foreground stars, and background galaxies are contributions from the Hubble optical data. Fun fact: those hydrogen filaments are the only visible-light evidence of the relation...
