The clumpy gas stream changed position in 2013 and is now blocking 90 percent of the black holes X-ray emissions. There are other galaxies with similar streams of gas flowing outward from the direction of its central black hole, but weve never before found evidence that the stream of gas changed its position as dramatically as this one has, Gerard A. Kriss, an associate astronomer at the Baltimore-based Space Telescope Science Institute, said in a written statement This is the first time weve seen a stream like this move into our line of sight. We got lucky. huffingtonpost/2014/06/25/supermassive-black-hole-galaxy-gas_n_5528026.html?utm_hp_ref=science&ir=Science
