A BLACK HOLE has been discovered devouring a galaxy’s centre and spewing the resulting energy at incomprehensible speeds.

A black hole is a region of spacetime displaying gravitational acceleration so strong that nothing – even light – can escape. Albert Einstein’s famed theory of general relativity predicts a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole. And it now appears supermassive black holes at the centre of most galaxies have a significant influence on their evolution.

This happens when the black hole is devouring the material of the galaxy in which it resides at a very high rate, growing in size as it does.

This phenomena’s effect releases galactic winds, where gas from the centre of the galaxy is driven out by the energy released by the black hole.

These winds are far more powerful than previously imagined and have now been measured at 2,700,000mph.

And it has now been shown the evolution of the star formation over cosmological timescales cannot be explained without the existence of these regulating mechanisms.
