Scientists unravel "galactic spaghetti monster"

Scientists have found out new information of the galaxy, which reminds them as "galactic spaghetti monster", namely Galaxy NGC 1275 in Perseus. The scientists note that there are some "spaghetti-like gas filaments around a black hole". I'm not sure why they are calling this as spaghetti monster, but for me the picture of this galaxy reminds the hell more likely.

What NewScientistScope explains about the galaxy is the following: "As the black hole sucks in gas from its surroundings, it powers jets of matter that produce bubbles of energetic particles in the surrounding cluster gas. As these bubbles grow and rise, cooled gas from NGC 1275's core gets drawn into long tendrils in their wake, like the strings that trail behind balloons."
