A supermassive black hole called RBH-1, weighing at least ten million Suns, appears to have been flung from its galaxy and is now racing through space at nearly 1,000 kilometres per second, leaving a 200,000-light-year wake of newborn stars
A thin streak of gas and young stars trailing a distant galaxy is the wake of a supermassive black hole moving at close to 1,000 kilometres per second, according to a paper by Pieter van Dokkum of…
