🚀🕳️ THIS BLACK HOLE DID NOT STICK AROUND

James Webb confirmed the first-ever runaway supermassive black hole—blasting through space at 2.2 million mph after getting kicked out of its home galaxy. It’s tearing through the “Cosmic Owl” galaxies, dragging a glowing trail of gas like celestial tire smoke. A black hole fleeing the scene. Webb caught it red-handed. Mind=boggled.

James Webb Space Telescope confirms 1st 'runaway' supermassive black hole rocketing through 'Cosmic Owl' galaxies at 2.2 million mph: 'It boggles the mind!'

"The forces that are needed to dislodge such a massive black hole from its home are enormous."

National Geographic listed our first picture of a black hole among the top 25 science results of the past 25 years. I still remember that very moment, where I was nervously on stage in Brussels to present this image and nearly screwed up as by mind was a black hole for a short moment. I am deeply grateful to the @ehtelescope and the people that made it happen. Many more results followed and there is more to come!
