An immense jet of material spewing out of a black hole 12 million light-years away is hitting something in space, but astronomers aren’t exactly sure what it is.

The structure popped up in a recent ultra-deep X-ray image of the galaxy, called Centaurus A.

The unknown blockade, dubbed C4 , is emitting plenty of X-rays.

Black holes are areas of spacetime with gravity so intense that light cannot escape them beyond a point called the event horizon.
