Hubble has discovered a “running” black hole, leaving a trail of stars in its path

Huge black hole tearing apart space, leaving a trail stars According to US space scientists, newborns have a diameter of 200,000 light years.

Probably born from a strange interaction of intergalactic masses and with a mass 20 million times that of our Sun, the gigantic monster is wading through the darkness and gas clouds it finds in its path.

The action of incredible forces turns this gas into a wave of new starswhich were captured by the cameras of the powerful space telescope Hubble from NASA.

“We think we see a contrail behind black hole where the gas is cooled and able to form stars”, – explained Pieter van Dokkum, an expert at Yale University.

“What we see is the consequences. Like the trail of a ship, what we see is the trail of a ship. black hole”, accurate.

According to the researchers, the gas is likely ejected and heated by the movement black hole.

“Gas ahead is expelled due to high speed supersonic impact black hole moving through this gas,” van Dokkum said.

Scientists believe that he began his journey after being thrown out of the heavenly “menge-a-trois”.

How did this space monster form?

The theory that is being used is that it is likely that two galaxies merged 50 million years ago and merged the two black holes gigantic, which harmoniously revolved around each other.

But a third galaxy collided with their own black holeand created an unstable and chaotic trinity, which eventually ejected one of them at a speed sufficient to travel between the Earth and the Moon in just 14 minutes.

Astronomers say there is no cause for concern on Earth because it happened so far and long ago, when the universe was half its current age. It’s visible now because of the time it took the light to get here.

He black hole Van Dokkum said he was discovered by chance on the run, never seen before.

“I scanned the image Hubble and I noticed that there was a small queue,” he said.

“This is unlike anything we have ever seen before,” he said. after stars it is “totally amazing, very, very bright and very unusual.”

this is the first black hole with a trace stars be seen, but NASA warns that it’s not necessarily the only one.

His Rome-based Nancy Grace Space Telescope, scheduled to launch this decade, should give astronomers a broader view of the universe and lead to the discovery of more such events. (AFP)
