![]() ![]() This is twice the diameter of the Milky Way. Now it is followed by a tail of stars 200 thousand light-years long. Since then, a lonely black hole has been traveling through space. It rushes so fast that if it is in our Solar system, it would cover the distance from the Earth to the Moon in 14 minutes. Then the third galaxy came too close, and in the chaos of the three-way merger, one of the black holes was thrown out with incredible acceleration. It probably formed as a result of the merger of two galaxies, each with its own supermassive black hole. This concerns a recently discovered black hole with a mass of 20 million Suns, which is rushing through outer space at great speed. But sometimes these space hungry animals can be found alone, wandering through the cold depths of space. While most very large black holes, which are called supermassive, are located in the center of galaxies. This illustration is based on observations of the Hubble Space Telescope, which has noticed a long tail of stars 200 thousand light-years long. When a black hole penetrates intergalactic space, it compresses the rarefied gas in front of it. An artist’s impression of a supermassive runaway black hole that was ejected from the galaxy as a result of a fight between two other black holes. Scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope noticed a huge tail of a runaway black hole, in which there were many young stars. At the same time, they can also participate in the formation of new stars. Black holes have a reputation as terrible monsters that devour everything within the radius of their gravitational influence, and they are also suspected of links with mysterious dark energy.
