Black Hole Winds Provide Clues to Early Galaxies
Startlingly powerful black hole jets are erupting in a nearby galaxy.
Surprisingly powerful x-ray jets blast out from a large black hole in a nearby galaxy, astronomers report.
Astronomers expect it will offer insight into the formation of the star-stuffed conglomerations that later grew into galaxies such as our own Milky Way.

"This confirms and improves on previous results, and it is important, as it shows how [ultraluminous black holes] can impact on their host environment, which could be an important feedback mechanism in the history of galaxy evolution," says astronomer Andrew Sutton of the United Kingdom's Durham University, who was not on the study team.
