Astronomers have discovered a wandering intermediate-mass black hole actively accreting matter and producing jets in a dwarf galaxy, challenging the traditional view that black holes are only found at galactic centers and shedding light on black hole growth and galaxy evolution.
Scientists have discovered a rogue supermassive black hole that originated from a dwarf galaxy located 7.5 billion light-years from Earth. The black hole was kicked out of its original location after a galactic merger brought two supermassive black holes too close together. When galaxies of a certain size merge, they will likely each have their own supermassive black hole. As such, the black holes then meet at some point. Usually, these black holes will be drawn to each other, orbiting each other, and sometimes the black holes will merge themselves.
