Supermassive black hole escapes its galaxy, leaves new stars in its path - study
A supermassive black hole accidentally spotted by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is now flying through space, leaving a breadcrumb path of stars behind it.
This is an artist's impression of a runaway supermassive black hole that was ejected from its host galaxy as a result of a tussle between it and two other black holes. As the black hole plows through intergalactic space it compresses gas and forms stars (Illustrative).(photo credit: NASA, ESA, Leah Hustak (STScI))ByAARON REICHUpdated:
