Monster Black Hole Unleashes 130 Million MPH Winds After X-ray Flare
- •A supermassive black hole in NGC 3783 unleashed ultra-fast winds (130 million mph) following an intense X-ray flare.
- •Observed on December 16, 2025, 135 million light-years from Earth, this event offers rare insight into extreme galactic activity.
- •Researchers believe tangled magnetic fields around the black hole powered the X-ray burst and subsequent high-speed winds.
- •The eruption, vastly more powerful than solar flares, was detected by ESA's XMM-Newton and XRISM telescopes.
- •This discovery is crucial for understanding galaxy evolution, star formation, and gas distribution.
Why It Matters: Extreme black hole winds, driven by magnetic forces, offer new insights into galaxy evolution.
