	Its gravity is pulling gas away from a companion star and this gas has formed into a disk around the black hole, which is driving off wind. Oh, but I was told gravity has no force, so it's only pseudo-sucking? Looks like this black hole ~~broke wind~~ broke the wind speed record. __________________ “I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.” - Richard Feynman
