ESA Telescopes Capture Ultra-Fast Winds Blasting From Distant Supermassive Black Hole
Astronomers have witnessed an extraordinary black hole outburst in the galaxy NGC 3783, where material was blasted into space at nearly 20% the speed of light. Triggered by an intense X-ray flare, the ultra-fast winds reveal how supermassive black holes can violently shape their surroundings and influence the evolution of entire galaxies.

Scientists Finally Identify What Drives Venus’s Fast Winds
A new study has identified the primary force behind Venus’s extreme superrotating atmosphere: a once-per-day thermal tide driven by solar heating. Using data from Venus Express and Akatsuki along with circulation models, researchers show that this daily tide transports most of the momentum that accelerates cloud-top winds to speeds over 100 metre...

When Will Volcanic Ash Leave Delhi, Other Parts Of India? What Weather Body Said
The volcanic ash is eight to 15 kilometres above sea level and is travelling with wind speeds of 150 km/h - leaving no impact on the already 'very poor' air quality in Delhi.
