'Runaway' black hole the size of 20 million suns found speeding through space with a trail of newborn stars behind it

I've often wondered if black holes gravity that sucks in everything that comes into its 'orbit' actually expelled what it draws in out the back end. Like a giant vortex gateway.
This discovery seems close to that.

'Runaway' black hole the size of 20 million suns caught speeding through space with a trail of newborn stars behind it

Astronomers have discovered a "runaway" black hole, potentially the first observational evidence that supermassive black holes can be ejected from their host galaxies.

like when we eat something.

I have no idea but it would be like fertiliser in the universe. Maybe God does have a bathroom

A BH poof.

All that the BH's strong gravity takes in has to go somewhere. Now that they've witnessed a BH that travels at a high rate of speed and 3xpells stars behind itself, we realize a black hole has an entrance and an exit.

I find this kind of thing fascinating.

Just like the news of the green comet that's now making it's way to our attention in this system. Awesome stuff.
