Resumen de Galaxies with tentacles feed black holes
Jellyfish galaxies are dead ringers for their aquatic namesakes, with blob-like bodies and star-studded tentacles that can be tens of thousands of light years long. Now it seems these galaxies host highly active supermassive black holes, which may be fed by the same process that gives the galaxies their distinctive tentacles. The black holes are at the centers of the galaxies and tend to devour stars and other matter, says Bianca Poggianti at the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics.
