Wandering Black Hole Found Far From Home | Science News

Astronomers have spotted the farthest wandering supermassive black hole ever found—located 30,000 light-years from its galaxy’s core, devouring a star in a dazzling flare brighter than ten billion suns. This cosmic nomad, weighing a million solar masses, was detected thanks to its rare, fleeting feast, offering a rare glimpse into how galaxies might eject these giants during violent mergers. With new observatories on the horizon, scientists hope to uncover more of these cosmic drifters and finally piece together how galaxies evolve through cosmic collisions.
