“Ultra?” “Super?” Who wrote this, a 9th grader?

Shouldn’t it “Incredible, amazing astrophysicists detect ultra-fast winds near supermassive black hole”?

I want to be an artist for NASA.
Those guys are way out there.

A giant celestial blender vortex. The ultra cool, super, and rad part though is that all that gnarly crud being sucked inward has to make a bodacious getaway that’s totally awesome.:)

Jeff Spicolli lives, at NASA it would seem.

winds 20 percent the speed of light?
that’ll mess up your hair.

So long as the object in question is going faster than the escape velocity of the black hole, it can leave orbit...

“Journal reference: Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society”
It’s British. They are doing more to destroy the language than the Americans are, and, we’re doing a great job of it as it is.
I think the writer just assumed that folks wouldn’t understand at all, so, he/she threw in a bunch of adjectives hoping that folks would be impressed.

I've seen astrophysicists use "hyper-" to describe the winds on the big gas planets that orbit a star in four days.
Not quite sure how they can tell the lack of global temperature difference (day/night sides) at the such distances, but they attribute it to hyper-winds spreading the star's heat planet-wide.
