NASA’s Chandra decodes a giant radio-wave formation shaped like a musical treble clef; a black hole’s outburst followed by a collision between galaxy clusters created it
- Astronomers have traced the origins of an unusual cosmic formation resembling a musical treble clef to an ancient black hole eruption and a subsequent collision between two galaxy clusters.
- According to NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and a study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, the discovery offers fresh insight into how violent events can reshape enormous structures across the universe.
- The formation, nicknamed the “Treble Clef” because of its distinctive appearance in radio observations, had long presented a challenge to astronomers.
