This week we’re going to take things up a notch and talk about an even more extreme event. Rogue black holes. Astronomers recently discovered a supermassive black hole on an escape trajectory, leaving newly forming stars in its wake. It’s wonderful, terrible, nightmare fuel.</p> <p><strong>Fraser’s rogue SMBH article:</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://www.universetoday.com/160072/astronomers-spot-a-rogue-supermassive-black-hole-hurtling-through-space-leaving-star-formation-in-its-wake/"> https://www.universetoday.com/160072/astronomers-spot-a-rogue-supermassive-black-hole-hurtling-through-space-leaving-star-formation-in-its-wake/</a></p> <p><strong>The original paper:</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.04888.pdf">https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.04888.pdf</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>This video was made possible by the following Patreon members:</strong></p> <p>Burry Gowen</p> <p>Stephen Veit</p> <p>Jordan Young</p> <p>Venkatesh Chary</p> <p>Andrew Poelstra</p> <p>Brian Cagle</p> <p>David Truog</p> <p><strong>THANK YOU! - Fraser and Dr. Pamela</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Just visit: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy">https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy</a> and donate as much as you can!</p> <p>Share the podcast with your friends and send the Patreon link to them too!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Every bit helps!
