This is a composite of view of X-rays and warm ionized gas near the galactic center. The graphic of a translucent, vertical white fan is added to show the suggested axis of a mini-jet from the supermassive black hole at the galaxyâs heart. The orange colored features are of glowing hydrogen gas. One such feature, at the top tip of the jet is interpreted at a hydrogen cloud that has been hit by the outflowing jet. The jet scatters off the cloud into tendrils that flow northward. Farther down near the black hole are X-ray observations of superheated gas colored green and blue. These date are circumstantial evidence that the black hole occasionally accretes stars or gas clouds, and ejects some of the superheated material along its spin axis.

It is the first total lunar eclipse in more than two years, which coincides with a supermoon. A super moon is a name given to a full (or new) moon that occurs when the moon is in perigee - or closest to the earth - and it is the moon's proximity to earth that results in its brighter and bigger appearance.
