A supermassive black hole 13.1 billion light years from Earth is driving the earliest known example of a titanic storm with winds travelling at 1.1 million miles per hour.  .

This titanic storm is a telltale sign these huge black holes at the centre of galaxies have a 'profound effect' on the growth of galaxies from the early universe, say astronomers from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ).

A supermassive black hole 13.1 billion light years from Earth is driving the earliest known example of a titanic storm with winds travelling at 1.1 million miles per hour.

There is also a class of ultramassive black holes, with a mass of at least 10 billion times the mass of the son. .

Even larger ones, with 100 billion times the mass of the sun have been dubbed stupendously large black holes. .

Sitting at the centre of many large galaxies, including our own Milky Way, there is a supermassive black hole and some are more active than others.

Using the Subaru Telescope's wide-field, they found more than 100 galaxies with supermassive black holes in the Universe more than 13 billion years ago.

The mass ratio of the bulge to the supermassive black hole in this galaxy is almost identical to the mass ratio of black holes to galaxies in the modern Universe. 

This titanic storm is a telltale sign these huge black holes at the centre of galaxies have a 'profound effect' on the growth of galaxies from the early universe, say astronomers from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ)

This implies that the coevolution of supermassive black holes and galaxies has been occurring since less than a billion years after the birth of the Universe

Many of these black hole seeds then merge to form much larger supermassive black holes, which are found at the centre of every known massive galaxy

Alternatively, a supermassive black hole seed could come from a giant star, about 100 times the sun's mass, that ultimately forms into a black hole after it runs out of fuel and collapses
