Scientists may have spotted 'wind' blowing from the Milky Way's black hole

Scientists may have spotted ‘wind’ blowing from the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole.

Most supermassive black holes don’t just swallow up matter, they eject it, sometimes in spectacular jets of super heated plasma. Sagittarius A* at the center of our galaxy has seemed oddly quiet, though. But scientists believe they’ve finally found evidence this plasma wind, in the form of a cone-shaped gap in the gas surrounding the black hole. It’s not quite as dramatic as Centaurus A, but it has it’s own galactic charm.
