Galactic Center Radio Arc

The Galactic Center Radio Arc is a long curving X-ray filament about 40 light years across located in the Galactic Center of the Milky Way galaxy. The Central Molecular Zone also contains the Galactic central radio arc. The structure is curving towards the Galactic Center where the supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* is located.
The curving is due to the hot plasma located inside the Galactic Center Radio Arc being directed and flowing along constant and strong magnetic field lines.
