The Galactic Black Hole has Tendrils

 Or tentacles? Or...

Five to ten light year long filaments that give off thermal radiation (that is, they're hot) that point towards the black hole.

And no, we have no idea what causes them, but it might have been caused by Sagittarius A* "burping" a few million years ago.

They're one dimensional. They're literally just strings of...something...hot. So I guess tendrils is better than tentacles?

Either way, I love that we keep discovering more about the universe.
