"Space Telescope Observes Massive Black Hole Unleashing Ultra-Fast Winds"
TL;DR Summary
The European Space Agency's XMM-Newton telescope has detected ultra-fast winds emanating from the accretion disc of a supermassive black hole in the spiral galaxy Markarian 817. These powerful winds, observed for about a year, could potentially hinder the formation of new stars within the galaxy, indicating that black holes may have a greater impact on reshaping their host galaxies than previously believed, according to astronomers.
