'It was a surprise to suddenly find a new population of structures that seem to be pointing in the direction of the black hole.'
The newly identified filament population appears much shorter and spreads out horizontally or radially from the black hole. Vertical filaments can reach 150 light-year heights, while horizontal filaments resemble "dots and dashes of Morse code."
"We found that these filaments are not random but appear to be tied to the outflow of our black hole. By studying them, we could learn more about the Aside from being vertical and horizontal to the galactic plane, the filaments exhibit some unique properties. Horizontal filaments are only 5 to 10 light-years long when compared to vertical filaments, which are relatively longer. Vertical filaments wrap around the galaxy's nucleus, while horizontal threads extend only to one side, pointing toward the black hole.
