Astronomers notice an hourglass like shape while scanning an ordinary galaxy

Astronomers found a giant hourglass shape around a galaxy called ESO 130 G012. This structure is made of radio waves and stretches over 160,000 light-years. It extends far beyond the galaxy's visible stars. Scientists are studying how this enormous outflow formed. It may be from steady star formation or a past black hole event.
