ESO<p>Supermassive black hole caught playing with its food!</p><p>The supermassive black hole at the centre of galaxy NGC 4945 is swallowing huge amounts of matter. Yet, contrary to a black hole’s all-consuming reputation, our Very Large Telescope (VLT) has caught it blowing out powerful winds of material. </p><p>This cone-shaped wind is shown in red in the inset image. In fact, the wind is moving so fast that it will end up escaping the galaxy altogether, lost to the void of intergalactic space.</p><p>Read more: <a href="https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2513a/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eso.org/public/images/potw2513</span><span class="invisible">a/</span></a></p><p>📷 ESO/C.

This is the work of Aussie company HEO!</p><p>This type of work is really fascinating as things (like satellites) are all moving at high velocities up there (28,000 km/h) - so other things (like other satellites or space stations) zip past quickly.
