Winds travelling 3,000 miles per SECOND found near supermassive black hole

Winds travelling 3,000 miles per SECOND found near supermassive black hole - and they're causing galaxies to dim and fade

Most galaxies are thought to have a supermassive black hole at their centres, including our own Milky Way. Around the black hole is a quasar (illustration shown), a disk-like region of superheated material drawn in from the rest of the galaxy, but the interaction of black holes and galaxies is poorly understood
A team led by the Netherlands Institute for Space Research in Utrecht has found evidence evidence for rapid winds in galaxies (illustration shown).
