Amazing, giant explosion in the galaxy M87

United States Space Agency (NASA) released a picture eruption 'mountain giants' in the large galaxy M87 - based on satellite observations, NASA, Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Very Large Array (VLA) of the National Science Foundation (NSF). 

The incident was observed from the amazing distance of about 50 million light years. Although different galaxies, M87 is relatively close to Earth and there is at the center of the Virgo cluster - which consists of thousands of galaxies. 

M87 cluster surrounding hot gas filled in the form of X-ray beam - detected by the Chandra satellite in blue. As this gas cools, it could fall into the center of the galaxy - and then continues to cool rapidly and form new stars. 

Meanwhile, the VLA radio observations (red) shows the M87 jet is the energetic particles produced by black holes (black hole) that interrupts this process. 

This beam is relatively cold gas lift near the galactic center and produce a shock wave in the atmosphere of the galaxy - because his strength is supersonic. 

Interaction of 'explosion' in the cosmic galaxy environment is very similar to the eruption in Iceland Eyjafjallajökull this happened in 2010. 

In Eyjafjallajökull, pockets of hot gas that exploded on the surface of lava produces shock waves that can be seen through the gray smoke of the volcano. 

This hot gas then rises into the atmosphere, which also dragged the dark ash. 

This process can be seen in movies about volcanoes Eyjafjallajökull where the smoke propagating shock wave, followed by the emergence of dark clouds of ash into the atmosphere. These clouds disrupt European aviation. 

In Eyjafjallajökull analogy, these particles of energy generated around the emergence of a black hole through the X-ray emitting cluster atmospheres - raised the most cold gas near the center of M87. 

This is similar to volcanic gases heat up the dark cloud containing particles of ash. And like a volcano on Earth, a shock wave can be seen as a black hole (black hole) pump energy particles into the cluster gas.
