Feb 10 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Scientists have recently discovered that much to their surprise, the black hole Sagittarius A in the milky way eats less than what was being expected. It feeds on the energy that the heavy winds of the young clusters of stars produce. These clusters of stars are many light years away from the black hole Sagittarius A and the latter’s field of attraction is weaker over there.

Scientist have found out that this black hole eats only 1 percent of the energy. They are now trying to find out why the black hole is consuming such a less amount. NASA scientists are now trying to figure out the answer for this question from a theoretical model which is prepared by them from Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The observation was continued for more than a million seconds, that is almost two weeks. The Chandra picture therefore has provided scientists with enough material to study the behavior of Sagittarius A.

This study, and the model that the scientists have made, take into consideration two zones. One is the inner zone, which is that particular zone near and around the black hole from where even light cannot escape. The other is the outer circle which takes into account the whole circle of the black holes’ energy source. With such an extensive study, scientists will be able to go deep and find out the exact reason of such a behavior. They have also come across supernova residues near this Sagittarius A.

Interestingly, many other findings have also come out from this study and the Chandra X Ray Observatory picture has revealed many more happenings of the universe, like mysterious X ray filaments which seem to be magnetic interactions between electron and neutron star clusters.
