๐ญ Chandra Detected 36-Million-Degree Exhaust from a Black Hole 2 Billion Years After the Big Bang
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory captured scorching hot winds blasting off an ancient quasar โ clocking in at 36 million degrees Fahrenheit. The quasar exists inside cosmic structure MQN01 as it appeared just 2.1 billion years after the Big Bang, and because it's unusually radio-quiet, astronomers got an unpolluted look at what they're calling its "motorbreath." The findings were published July 24 in Astronomy & Astrophysics. How does a black hole blow winds hotter than a star's core?
