Using the Hubble Space Telescope have revealed the possibility of a runaway supermassive black hole leaving a trail of stars in its wake. This black hole is estimated to weigh as much as 20 million Suns and is traveling through intergalactic space at high speeds. The trail of stars it is leaving behind is about 200,000 light-years long and appears to be caused by the gravitational disruption of the black hole's intense gravity. This discovery sheds new light on the behavior and movement of supermassive black holes in the universe.
