Astronomers claim that a black hole has been kicked out from the central hub of its parent galaxy. Thanks to observations using the Hubble Telescope, experts say that the gigantic force of gravitational waves is somewhat responsible for the said movement.
Scientists claim that there are few black holes that have been kicked out from their galactic core. The monster black hole ousted recently measures more than 1 billion suns. It is said to be the first supermassive black hole that has been kicked out from its original place. Experts say that the process moving a black hole from one place to another is quite complicated. In order to push one, its core needs to have a great amount of energy. The energy required to make the movement possible is equal to the energy of exploding hundreds of supernovas all at the same time.
An expert by the name of Stefano Bianchi from Roma Tre University revealed that a hypothetical model implies that gravitational waves were created by the joining of two black holes about 1 to 2 billion years ago, pushing the supermassive black hole from its supposed place.
The presence of the black hole was only proven last year. It was recognized by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Space Telescope Science Institute Group Leader Marco Chiaberge stated that "When I first observed this, I thought we were seeing something exceptionally impossible to miss."
Meanwhile, the monster black hole is said to have moved 35,000 light years from the central of its parent system 3C 186.
