Seeing a super voracious black hole, he turns to 'food' - Space and Astronomy. A capricious black hole like a child has overturned its entire plate: it generated a hyper-fast wind so violent that it hurled the matter and gas it fed on in all directions.

The impetuous object was spotted by the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton space telescope. The fact that Markarian 817 has been producing these winds for about a year suggests that black holes may be reshaping their host galaxies much more than previously thought.
