A giant black hole has been jerked around twice, causing its spin axis to point in a different direction from before. If confirmed, this discovery might explain several mysterious-looking objects found throughout the Universe. A new deep observation with Chandra of 4C +00.58 was key in making this finding. At the center of 4C +00.58 is a supermassive black hole that is actively pulling in large quantities of gas. Gas swirling toward the black hole forms a disk around the black hole, generating strong electromagnetic forces that propel some of the gas away from the disk at high speed, producing radio jets. This galaxy belongs to a class of "X-shaped" galaxies. Release date July 21, 2010.
