LOS ANGELES – A huge black hole is tearing through space, leaving behind a 200,000-light-year-long trail of newborn stars, space scientists say.

The incredible forces at play mean this gas is being forged into a contrail of new stars, which have been captured on camera by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s powerful Hubble Space Telescope. “What we’re seeing is the aftermath. Like the wake behind a ship, we’re seeing the wake behind the black hole.”“Gas in front of it gets shocked because of this supersonic, very high-velocity impact of the black hole moving through the gas,” said Dr van Dokkum.The working theory is that two galaxies probably merged about 50 million years earlier, bringing together two supermassive black holes, which whirled around each other harmoniously.
