Hot Gas Emanating around a Black Hole

From NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration:

For the first time, scientists have measured rapidly varying temperatures in hot gas emanating around a black hole. The winds can heat up and cool down in the span of just a few hours, according to this new NuSTAR telescope data. This data is providing clues as to how these winds form and how much energy they may carry out into the galaxy. Find out more: http://go.nasa.gov/2m1snyg
