Scientists have discovered unusual space structures as part of the first deep survey of the sky using
Visually, these giant clouds of electrons resemble two ghosts, which seem to be in a dance. Accordingly, the structures are called so - dancing ghosts.
Ray Norris, co-author of the study
As Professor Ray Norris pointed out, first scientistsdid not understand where huge electronic clouds appeared in space. However, they later discovered their parent galaxies. As the authors of the study note, supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies eject jets of electrons into space, which take different forms under the influence of the intergalactic wind.
In neighboring a well-studiedWith the galaxy IC5063, scientists also discovered a giant radio galaxy, one of the largest known, the existence of which astronomers had previously not suspected. Its supermassive black hole produces jets of electrons nearly 5 million light years long. ASKAP is the only telescope in the world that can record such a phenomenon, scientists conclude.

"ASKAP" - radio interferometer at the observatoryMurchison in western Australia. It is a complex of 36 antennas, each 12 meters in diameter, combined into one interferometer. ASKAP officially entered service on October 5, 2012. The tool is owned by the Australian government agency CSIRO.
