(ORDO NEWS) — An interesting phenomenon is a fleeing black hole in outer space.
At the same time, it leaves behind a trace, which scientists have nicknamed the tail. The hole “runs away” at a speed of 1,600 kilometers per second.
It is assumed that the black hole appeared from young stars, so no one noticed it before.
It was discovered by American astronomers from Yale University in the USA (sometimes one gets the impression that among all astronomers in the world, only American ones work, otherwise how to explain the fact that they discover the most new objects in outer space).
This black hole weighs millions of times more than our Sun. It moves very quickly in space, but fortunately, at a great distance from us.
If it was moving towards the Earth, humanity would not have a chance. Even the colonization of Mars would prove futile. The distance from the Earth to the black hole is 7.5 billion light years.
The most interesting and unusual thing is that the trail left behind by a black hole consists of a huge number of newborn stars. Scientists also found out that the hole “escaped” from its galaxy almost 40 million years ago.
Astronomers said that they managed to detect this phenomenon not directly, but only thanks to the shock waves emanating from it. These waves compressed the gas, causing many new stars to be born.
The length of the black hole’s tail is approximately 200,000 light years. Now, in this way, scientists intend to track inactive black holes as well.
