Scientists put this composite image together using photos from the orbiting Chandra X-Ray Observatory. Dan Evans, the study leader at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge explained, “What we’ve identified is an act of violence by a black hole, with an unfortunate nearby galaxy in the line of fire.”
That’s right. A black hole is blasting an entire galaxy. According to a report in The Washington Post, “That energy, often in the form of highly charged gamma rays and X-rays, shoots out in powerful jets that can be millions of light-years long and 1,000 light-years wide.”
I don’t know what you think about when you look at this stunning image, but I wonder about the life forms that might exist in that far off galaxy. I marvel at the power of nature to prevail over puny organisms with an agenda of its own, planet Earth included.
Wow, think about it…
Entire ecosystems transformed into their ‘Incredible Hulk’ equivalents…
Interesting… Very interesting.
I think that if there is life, then it would be of a form we could not imagine. I mean; if there is life then the entire planet, from stone to life would have a completely different evolution process. To say nothing for the fact that we are governed by our moon largely – if the planet with life did exist and had a number of moonds, then this would also affect the way in which they live..
Take care,
