JWST Confirms: First Runaway Supermassive Black Hole Tearing Through Space

Astronomers have confirmed the existence of a supermassive black hole, RBH-1, that is zooming through space at an astonishing speed. This black hole, with a mass of at least 10 million times that of the Sun, is traveling at 954 kilometers per second, leaving a trail of star formation in its wake. The discovery was made possible by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and led by astrophysicist Pieter van Dokkum of Yale University. The black hole is believed to have been kicked out of its host galaxy due to a supermassive black hole merger, providing valuable insights into the behavior of these massive objects.
