NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a rare and stunning image of a supermassive black hole speeding through the universe, leaving behind a never-before-seen trail of newborn stars. Weighing as much as 20 million Suns, this "invisible monster" is barreling through intergalactic space at such a high speed that it could travel from Earth to the moon in just 14 minutes. It has left a 200,000-light-year-long "contrail" of stars, twice the diameter of our Milky Way galaxy, which scientists believe is the result of a rare and bizarre game of galactic billiards among three massive black holes.
The black hole, located at the end of the column of its parent galaxy, has pushed into gas in front of it to create the new star formation in a narrow corridor rather than consuming the stars ahead of it. The trail of stars created is almost half as bright as its host galaxy, making it a remarkable discovery. Scientists are still trying to understand exactly how the phenomenon works, but they believe that the gas in front of the black hole gets shocked due to the supersonic, high-velocity impact of the black hole moving through the ...

Pieter van Dokkum of Yale University, who spotted the black hole accidentally while looking for globular star clusters in a nearby dwarf galaxy, said.. Read more..?
