Briefings

NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory detected a radio wave pattern resembling a treble clef, attributed to an outburst from a supermassive black hole followed by a collision of two galaxy clusters. The event was imaged in October 2026 using Chandra's X-ray data, infrared observations from UKIDSS-GPS, and radio data from ASTRON/LOFAR, with image processing by NASA/CXC/SAO/N. Wolk.

Key points

• A supermassive black hole outburst triggered by a galaxy cluster collision produced radio waves that formed a treble clef pattern visible in Chandra X-Ray data.
• The specific date of the event is October 14, 2026, as confirmed by the image timestamp and the publication date of the research article.

Context and limitations

The analysis relies on observational data from NASA, UKIDSS, ASTRON, and LOFAR, with image processing performed by NASA/CXC/SAO/N. Wolk. The study is based on preprint evidence and does not include follow-up observations or confirmatory data from other instruments.
