Record ultraviolet quasar wind reaches 30% light speed near supermassive black hole Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor A team led by York University researchers has discovered the fastest wind near a supermassive black hole ever found at ultraviolet wavelengths, driven by the disk of matter (quasar) surrounding the black hole. "This quasar has a black hole of 1.7 billion times the mass of the sun. What's not typical is that it has gas moving towards us at 30% of the...

These record-breaking black hole winds could create a category 79 hurricane on Earth
These record-breaking black hole winds could create a category 79 hurricane on Earth "This wind is unlike anything on Earth." Astronomers have discovered a distant quasar — or active nucleus of a galaxy — that's powered by a feeding supermassive black hole blasting out winds at record-breaking speeds of 30% the speed of light, around 201 million miles (323 million kilometers) per hour. This is the fastest black hole wind seen specifically in ultraviolet wavelengths.
