Scientists Believe Unusual Star Structure May Not Be 'Runaway' Black Hole

Scientists Believe Unusual Star Structure , May Not Be 'Runaway' Black Hole.
'The Independent' reports that scientists may
have solved the mystery surrounding a "runaway"
black hole shooting across the universe.
In April, scientists found a black hole that they
believed was thrown out of its home galaxy
and sent speeding across the cosmos. .
Astronomers discovered a long trail of stars stretching
out into a narrow shape that is approximately
the same size as our own Milky Way galaxy. .
At first, scientists believed
the trail of stars was left behind
in the wake of a runaway black hole. .
Now, scientists at the Instituto de Astrofísica
de Canarias (IAC) suggest a much more ordinary
explanation for the unusual star structure.
The IAC team believes that
the anomaly may just be a flat, thin galaxy
that is being observed from its side.
The motions, the size, and the quantity
of stars fits what has been seen in
galaxies within the local universe, Jorge Sanchez Almeida, IAC researcher and
first author of the article, via 'The Independent'.
It’s a relief to have found the solution
to this mystery, the new proposed
scenario is much simpler, Jorge Sanchez Almeida, IAC researcher and
first author of the article, via 'The Independent'.
In one sense it is also a pity, because
the existence of fleeing black holes
is expected, and this could have
been the first one to be observed, Jorge Sanchez Almeida, IAC researcher and
first author of the article, via 'The Independent'.
'The Independent' reports that the team hopes
further observations will reveal more details of
the galaxy that prove interesting to astronomers.
