Ancient supermassive black hole is blowing galaxy-killing wind, James Webb Space Telescope finds

This is a perfect example of why you don't write science articles while drunk/high/driving a car or anything similar. 25 solar systems lined up equals 7,500 light years?!!! Matter travelling 6,000 times the speed of light?!!!

This article is trash. First it's claimed the ejection speed is 6000 times the speed of light, which is nonsense. Then, later, it's stated to be 6000 times the speed of sound, which is also total nonsense in this context.

Our solar system is maybe between .5-2 light years in diameter, depending on where you draw the boundary... Even being generous, 300 x 2 isn't hard math, and nowhere near 7,500.

Reads like it's written by AI without any attempt to proof at all. Absolute garbage content, you should be ashamed.

The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted the earliest supermassive black hole-driven quasar wind ever seen, pushing away matter at 6,000 times the speed of sound and killing its host galaxy.

So many new journalists on the Internet and no editors, this story is so full of misinformation a Trump supporter would believe it.

Other than 6,000 times the speed of light and the size of the solar system, which have already been pointed out, wouldn't it reasonably be assumed if it's the 3rd earliest quasar ever discovered it's also the 3rd most distant?

Now I can't even rely on your articles.

"...7,500 light-years, which is equivalent to around 25 solar systems lined up side-by-side."

The Solar system isn't 300 lys across!

What?!?
Came hear to say that too and the 6,000 light year speed gave me a chuckle as well. Imagine if we could build a solar sail to harness those winds we could tool across the Milky Way in about 17 years. 😊

Same here. It was stated later as 6,000x the speed of sound. But that's actually worse since the speed of sound varies with density. The speed of sound, say, in a nebulae is so low that supersonic flows are common and likely contribute to the first steps toward some planetary formations.
