NGC 1266 is a lenticular galaxy located approximately 90 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus. What makes this galaxy remarkable is that it hosts one of the most powerful outflows of molecular gas ever observed in the universe, blasting material outward at speeds exceeding 600 kilometers per second.
