NASA's Hubble captures massive black hole creating trail of new stars

A black hole is tearing through space, leaving behind a 200,000-light-year-long trail of newborn stars. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured images of the phenomenon, which scientists believe was caused by the supermassive black hole being ejected from a celestial menage-a-trois. The black hole weighs about the same as 20 million Suns and has been plowing into gas clouds, causing them to cool and form stars. Although it is the first runaway black hole ever spotted, NASA believes its Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope could uncover more of these star-forming monsters.
