The weather forecast for galaxies hosting monster, active black holes is blustery. Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope found that the region around the black hole emits so much radiation that it pushes out material at a few percent the speed of light. This outflow slams into the host galaxy’s gas and dust, preventing the formation of new stars. For more, see the HubbleSite press release and the articles in the Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series. [Illustration: NASA, ESA, N. Arav (Virginia Tech)]
