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

[Admin]

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.

"...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?!?

What?!?

I didn't even notice that - my attention was entirely focused on the apparent "6000 times the speed of light".

The wind is likely bi-polar, so most of the galaxy won’t be torched.

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?!!!

 

[6000x]

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.
