Although giant radio galaxys are one of the largest structures in space in space is not so easy to detect. Nevertheless, the astronomers managed to find a new giant radio giant giant with the help of the Meerkat radio telescope, which not only has an extremely large size, but it is also very strange, because its physics cannot be explained exactly. The study is published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, writes Sciencealert.

The size of the new giant radio galaxy, if we count very long jets of hot plasma flying out of its central super -massive black hole, is more than 3 million light years. Thus, this galaxy is more than 30 times more than our Galaxy Milky Way.

This galaxy has unusual properties that are very difficult to explain. Therefore, the new giant radio galaxy is called Inkathazo, which in one of the languages \u200b\u200bof the indigenous inhabitants of South Africa means "

All radio galaxys, in the center of which are super -marked black holes that emit huge jets of matter into the intergalactic space, which can be detected using radio waves, have unique physics. Radio Galaxy, which, together with hot plasma jets, have a size of 2 million light years, are called giant radio galaxy.

Scientists have found that the new galaxy differs from other giant radio galaxies, because it has a more strange physics. For example, the jets of plasma flying out of a black hole do not have a direct direction, as is usually the case. One of these jets is not straight, but curved.

Astronomers also say that for them there was a surprise that the new galaxy is inside the accumulation of galaxies. Such a location should not have been allowed to appear so gigantic plasma jets. Jets of such sizes have giant radio galaxys, which are located in a more isolated area of \u200b\u200bspace.

Scientists studied the jets of plasma and found some oddities. In particular, something in the jets of plasma makes electrons receive an unexpectedly high level of energy. Perhaps this is due to the interaction of jets with the environment of the galaxy. Jets fly not into a relatively empty cosmos, but into the voids between galaxies, where they interact with intergalactic gas. This may cause strange electron behavior.

According to the authors of the study, the new discovery challenges the existing theories about the evolution of giant radio galaxies and shows that the complex plasma physics in these galaxies is still unclear.

Giant radio galaxy has previously been found very rarely, but over the past 5 years they began to find more and more often thanks to powerful radio telescopes.

As Focus already wrote, NASA showed strange features on Mars, which are not similar to anything on Earth. Mars is not that a unique planet, but it is very different from the Earth, although it is a planet of the earth's group.

Focus also wrote that scientists found previously unknown particle accelerators in our galaxy.
