Astronomers have detected a mysterious signal from a "dead" galaxy, puzzling the scientific community. The detected burst of radiation comes from a galaxy that has long since stopped forming stars, making the anomalous signal a real scientific mystery, sciTechDaily writes.
Galaxies that are called "dead" usually do not produce new stars because they have run out of gas to do so. However, the new signal indicates that this galaxy is undergoing an anomalous and previously unknown active process that needs to be explained.
Researchers have suggested several possible causes for this phenomenon. One is the activity of a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy, which could have caused a burst of radiation. Another is a collision or interaction with another galaxy, which could have triggered a wave of energetic processes.
Scientists are continuing to analyze the data to determine the nature of this phenomenon. The discovery of such a signal in a "dead" galaxy could change our understanding of the processes that occur in the distant corners of the Universe.
