Even fictional stories sometimes are based on reality.
The “Lord of the Rings” series is known for the Eye of Sauron as a mark of the Dark Lord’s ability to see all that happens. The symbol is a fiery eyeball that floats above Mordor’s dark tower. However, is it possible that this element of a fictional story is actually part of a scientific reality?

According to the Daily Mail, a recent image of a “cosmic jet,” also known as a plasma and energy stream in space, strikingly looks exactly like the Eye of Sauron. This celestial phenomenon is powered by a black hole, billions of lightyears far from the earth.

The Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy’s lead author, Yuri Kovalev, noted that when the imaging was put together, it “looked absolutely stunning” and that “We have never seen anything quite like it—a near-perfect toroidal magnetic field with a jet, pointing straight at us.”
A co-author with Kovalev, Jack Livingston, noted that the “jet appears to move slowly due to projection effects—a classic optical illusion.”
