      From the article:

      “According to the researchers, this is the fastest wind ever recorded in observations conducted in the ultraviolet range of the light spectrum. The discovery caught the attention of astronomers because the observed speed is unusual even among the most energetic objects in the Universe.

      …

      According to Olhar Digital, the analyzed object hosts a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 1.7 billion times the mass of the Sun. Despite the colossal size, astronomers explain that this mass is within the expected range for this type of cosmic structure.”

      Black hole wind traveling at 323 million km/h? That’s nothing special. I easily beat that every Saturday AM, after another Friday late night drunken dinner at that kebab place on the corner.
