NASA spots runaway black hole tearing through universe.
TL;DR Summary
NASA has discovered a "runaway" black hole that is travelling through the universe at an incredible speed, leaving behind a trail of newborn stars twice the diameter of the Milky Way. The black hole is located at the end of the column of its parent galaxy and is believed to have been set free after two galaxies merged about 50 million years ago. The black hole weighs as much as 20 million suns and is most likely caused by multiple collisions of supermassive black holes. The next step is to confirm the explanation behind the black hole using the James Webb Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory for follow-up observations.
