Formation of a second supermassive blackholes from smaller blackholes near the center is not subject to the galactic disk rotation in early stages.

[@crunchyfrog555]

Could it possibly be that this isn't in fact a black hole that was created by this galaxy but came from another that collided? If intercepted maybe that could explain the angle? I admit I'm purely guessing here.

[@raydunn2582]

My thoughts exactly. A collision at just the right angle and momentum, and given a certain comparative mass, the black holes might just capture each other in a very wide orbit. Will be interesting when they figure out the masses and orbital periods of the pair.

[@SpaceMog]

Great idea! I think it depends on what it merged with, if it was another sizeable galaxy then it likely had a supermassive blackhole itself and they may have merged :-)

[@noobdernoobder6707]

Brilliant video! I wish a Merry Cristmas and a Happy New Year!

[@MarkDStrachan]

I'd think the easiest way to get a black hole to realign its jets along a new axis of rotation, would be to collide with another black hole, like in the galaxy merger case. Angular momentum is supposed to be conserved, so when you have point particles a, and b, each spinning around their own axis of roation, and they collide, you should end up with the sum of their two angular momentum producing a new angular momentum after a merger. If the magnitude of a and b's angular momentum are very different the resulting orientation will be much more like the bigger one, but if they're close to the same magnitude, the resulting orientation could vary dramatically from either of the first two.

[@RedneckRepairs]

the most likely explanation is that the black hole used to be properly aligned, but a merger due to a galactic collision with another black hole coming in at some oblique angle disturbed it's actual alignment. It is likely that the black hole is also rotating perpendicular to it's galaxy. it is very unlikely that the black hole's rotation is different than it's jet alignment

[@joenicotera2991]

@@SpaceMog Well, for one Dr Maggie, your black hole is hardly malfunctioning. The mathematicians on NGCS5084 simply didn't apply for funding at Oxford and see no reason to use the same mathematics at their curriculum. If you were to continue to observe areas that the grant moneys have not already been allocated, for you will find that spectra outside of the usual hydrogen specta are normally in a toroidal form. This is because the warranty on your mathematical instrument only applies if the instrument is zeroed based on the hydrogen/helium emission lines. We, obviously can not honor a warranty for parties that apply for funding outside of the publication circles. Therefore, always avoid zeroing your mathematical instrument on observations that exist outside of the already existing publications. We wouldn't want to be accused of having foreign or alien asperations. If you notice other, apparently defective, galaxies please do remember that I'm not going to apply for return merchandise authorization without a return shipping address. (Spherical/pinhole Spectrograph.) It might seem ridicules, but if you are tying to avoid looking at your eyelash in the eyepiece, somebody did bother to ask Einstein if he thought about "that." Let us discuss "ridiculous" for a moment. Hypothetically, we can al use calculus that is capable of an endless Babble because Sir Isaac Newton sat in a chair. Well, the electrons that are involved in beta decay...is well, all of them, and not a single one of them is sitting in a chair. So, you find yourself a high enough energy field that you can see that electrons have a charge and immediately try to fin that the entire galaxy is wrong. Well, if that if the case, why can't electrons practice precognitive behavior, since we know they are all from a decay nucleus? So, as I told you somebody thought to ask the man who wroth the mathematics...and well, would you believe that we cant exactly have decay without some result, because our universe has to be built out of something. So, your elections practice particle emission until there is no longer a nucleus for them to return to, hit a node or an anti node and turn back into mass. So, I like it, because everything you are looking at isn't actually there no matter how you write the college exam. So, here is the question: Is it exhibiting capacitance, inductance or something else? (Good luck, hope you get an A.)

[@theemissary1313]

Imagine the gravitational wave turbulence from an event that can alter the tilt of a super massive black hole. I'd expect another "WOW!" notation if LIGO had picked it up.

[@SpaceMog]

Thats what you wouldve expected, but only if we were around to hear it at the time :-)

[@Bartko-rq8px]

Thank you Dr. Maggie! Keep the stars coming!

[@philochristos]

I don't see how there could really be a singularity inside a black hole. I mean if you were watching something fall into a black hole, it's time would move slower and slower the closer it got to the event horizon, right? So if you were watching a star collapse into a black hole, wouldn't the same thing be true? The closer it got to then Schwartzchild radius, the slower you would observe the surface moving inward. As it reaches the Schwarzchild radius, wouldn't time basically stop from your point of view looking in? If, from an outside point of view, time stops at or inside the event horizon, then from an outside point of view, the core can't really collapse, can it? Wouldn't the surface of whatever is inside the black hole basically be frozen just at or inside the event horizon? Yes, I realize that from the point of view of whatever falls into a black hole, their time doesn't stop, and they keep falling, but I'm talking about our point of view outside of the black hole. From our point of view, I don't see how there could ever be a singularity. Also, if, from our point of view, time comes to a stand still at or just below the event horizon, it seems like from the point of view of somebody falling in that time outside the black hole would speed up until it's going by infinitely fast. If Hawking radiation is really a thing, then from an outside point of view, it would seem like the black hole would evaporate before a singularity ever happened, which means that from an inside point of view, if you were falling in, and time outside the black hole was speeding up, the black hole would basically evaporate as soon as you crossed the event horizon. So the person falling into the black hole would never reach a singularity either. So I don't see how it's possible for a singularly to ever actually be reached whether you're on the outside or the one falling in.

[@stewiesaidthat]

Your whole concept of what a black hole is is based on flat earth science. Newton's gravitational attraction? Mathematical nonsense. Multiple tests have proven that mass does not attract mass. Gravity is not a fundamental force of nature. It's an effect, as shown by Newton's Laws of Motion. You don't so much as fall is as you slam into a brick wall. There is no event horizon with a black hole any more than Saturn's rings are an 'event horizon'. E=mc. Black holes lack sufficient acceleration (rotation) to create EM waves in the visible light spectrum.

There's another, much more interesting question: how will it evolve? Will it stay this way, or will the accretion disk deform over time and conform to the BH's rotation plane?

[@annexcelestial]

[@jajwarehouse1]

I am curious if SMBHs may experience a Dzhanibekov effect. The flip could take many thousands of years to occur and appear sideways to us, but be such a brief portion of a galaxy's lifespan that we would only see one happening at any given time throughout the eons. Perhaps they all flip every so often, and during the flip, excretions would would follow the flip as well as be ejected in the normal perpendicular fashion.

[@EnginAtik]

If this is due to a merger of two galaxies one would expect that black hole rotation axis should not be almost horizontal with the galactic plane. It can deviate from the vertical direction but a horizontal alignment is very unlikely as a result of conservation of angular momentum. Maybe an isolated black hole merging with a gas cloud can explain it before the frame dragging effect orthogonalizes the black hole rotation axis and the galactic plane. Since the galaxy has stars this should not be a new merger and this conflicts with a recent merger option.

[@theone306]

Just when we think we know stuff ... stuff says "yeah right!"

[@robertfarrimond3369]

Seems like a merger would likely be at a component of this oddity since the spin of two merging black holes orientation would not necessarily leave the resulting black hole spinning on the same plane as the host galaxy?

[@ivornelsson2238]

Logically there is no "conservation of the angular momentum" in galaxies as all stars and clouds orbits the galactic centter with the same velocity.

[@vickydixon7512]

All galaxies have a black hole in the middle of them. ALL OF THEM. That is because of Radial degeneracy, "phi probability distributions". It's not separate from our galaxy it's a very important process in order to hold our galaxy in place without it just going off into space.

[@Findmylimit]

its cool to think about our eyes, other then size they fundamentally have the same abilities.

[@georgemartinez-vi5yi]

The problem is that black holes are a mathematical construct & are not real. Like dark matter, dark energy, these are all patches to maintain the standard theories of astrophysics and cosmology; instead of looking at the observed new data and saying perhaps we should scrap the old theories and start again. Just because so much time and money is invested in the old ideas doesn’t make them correct.

Our modeling using principles has led to several significant discoveries about the tilted black hole in NGC 5804. By integrating historical data, multi-wavelength observations, theoretical modeling, and sensitivity analysis, we estimated that the galaxy merger event occurred around 1-2 billion years ago. This merger, likely involving a high-mass galaxy colliding at a perpendicular angle with moderate to high velocity, resulted in the observed tilt of the black hole. Our analysis revealed enhanced X-ray emissions, distinct optical patterns, and complex molecular gas dynamics, indicating ongoing interactions and remnants from the merger. These findings provide valuable insights into the dynamic history and evolution of NGC 5804, the long-term effects of galaxy mergers on black hole behavior, and the comprehensive approach required to study such complex cosmic events. The detection of tidal tails, disrupted stellar populations, and asymmetries further supports the incomplete merger hypothesis, highlighting the continuing influence of the remnants on the galaxy's structure and dynamics. This comprehensive and systematic approach represents a significant advancement in our understanding of galactic phenomena

[@mossig]

And the explanation is...... There are no black holes! The center of a spiral galaxy is just a hole, a void with nothingness. Exactly as when you flush a toilet or a maelstrom. The circular momentum create the central void and dispose of the mass as a jet. The jets direction is bound to the speed and mass. If there is a mass distortion the jet will have an incline.
