Mar 12, 2021 · The supermassive black hole is moving with a speed of about 110,000 miles per hour inside the galaxy J0437+2456. But what’s causing the motion is not known. The team suspects there are two possibilities.

Mar 18, 2021 · The fast-moving black hole, which is roughly 3 million times heavier than our sun, is zipping through the center of the galaxy J0437+2456, about 230 million light-years away.

Mar 6, 2025 · Cambridge, MA - Astronomers have discovered strong evidence for the closest supermassive black hole outside of the Milky Way galaxy. This giant black hole is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, one of the nearest galactic neighbors to our own.To make this discovery, researchers traced the paths with ultra-fine precision of 21 stars on the outskirts of the Milky Way.

Mar 6, 2025 · A study based on the trajectory of nine fast-moving stars observed at the fringes of the Milky Way provides strong evidence for the existence of a supermassive black hole inside the Large...

Apr 6, 2023 · This supermassive black hole, weighing as much as 20 million Suns, has left behind a never-before-seen 200,000-light-year-long "contrail" of newborn stars, twice the diameter of our Milky Way galaxy. It's likely the result of a rare, bizarre game of galactic billiards among three massive black holes.

Apr 8, 2023 · Hubble just spotted a supermassive black hole zooming through the sky and leaving a star formation in its wake. Rather than swallowing material it runs into, the black hole is dragging the...

Jan 17, 2025 · A fluffy cluster of stars spilling across the sky may have a secret hidden in its heart: a swarm of over 100 stellar-mass black holes.

Mar 19, 2021 · The researchers found that only one of the 10 black holes seemed to be moving — one that sits at the center of a galaxy called J0437+2456. But the reason for its movement is unclear.

Jul 10, 2024 · Black holes have been found over a wide range of masses, from stellar remnants with masses of 5–150 solar masses (M☉), to those found at the centres of galaxies with M > 10 5M☉. However, only a...

Apr 7, 2023 · A rare and bizarre cosmic event involving three massive black holes has led to the discovery of an unprecedented phenomenon: a supermassive black hole moving at incredible speeds, leaving a 200,000-light-year-long trail of newborn stars in its wake.
