Every now and again, a stellar object is caught zooming across space.
But for the first time ever, astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope, have confirmed a supermassive black hole at least 10 million times the mass of the Sun, tearing through space. And, it's got an enormous bow shock in front of it and a trail of star formation extending for thousands of light-years behind it.

Territory explores the discovery of an enormous black hole moving at incredible speeds through intergalactic space. By analyzing data from Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope, the investigation examines how this celestial object leaves a mysterious 200,000 light-year trail of new stars in its wake and the potential mechanisms responsible for such a powerful cosmic ejection.
