Astronomers have found a stray black hole in our galaxy, sitting all alone, 230 million light years away and apparently untethered to any star or galaxy, challenging established theories that large black holes are always first-born at the centres of their new homes. The thing is, with a mass approximately 300,000 times that of the Sun, this object is not only at a distance of more than 3,000 light years from the heart of its galaxy; it is still accreting material and spewing out powerful jets. For an intermediate-mass black hole, this is as beautiful of a smoking gun signal as we have ever seen in its native habitat. A rogue black hole is ‘kicking' the remnants of its host galaxy out into intergalactic space According to a Space.com report, the Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey was born from the observation of a black hole kick in an object from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies.They also detected plasma with temperatures exceeding 1 billion degrees Celsius and a coherent jet of ma...
