Tiny dwarf galaxy might house a supermassive black hole
Fast-moving stars zooming through our galaxy might have been slingshotted from a black hole inside the neighbouring Large Magellanic Cloud
There could be a supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud hurling stars at the Milky Way
Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) were first theorized to exist in the late 1980s. In 2005, the first discoveries were confirmed. HVSs travel much faster than normal stars, and sometimes, they can exceed the galactic escape velocity.
An astrophysicist warns of an unprecedented supermassive black hole: “We’ve never seen this”
Researchers have observed strange goings-on around a supermassive black hole located nearly 300 million light years away.
Supermassive Black Hole Heading Towards The Milky Way Galaxy
