Tsunamis like quasars rip across galaxies - seen in the most energetic outflow universe.
Using the unique capabilities of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, a team of astronomers has discovered the most energetic outer regions ever seen in the Universe.
They emanate from quasars and shed tears in a tsunami-like interstellar space, wreaking havoc on the galaxies in which quasars reside.
This depiction depicts a distant galaxy with an active quasar at its center. A quasar emits large amounts of energy generated by a supermassive Black hole that fires matter and makes it fuel.
Using Hubble's unique capabilities, astronomers have discovered that blistering radiation pressure from the area around the black hole pushes material away from the center of the Galaxy at a fraction of the speed of light.
"Quasar winds" are circulating hundreds of solar masses each year. This affects the entire galaxy as the material mixes in the gas and dust surrounding the ice.
