Black Hole Monsters in the Void with Pieter van Dokkum

An elusive creature roams freely, navigating the vast expanse of intergalactic space with astonishing speed. Its velocity is so immense that if it were present within our solar system, it could traverse the distance from Earth to the Moon in a mere 14 minutes. This extraordinary entity takes the form of a supermassive black hole, boasting a weight equivalent to that of 20 million Suns. In its wake, it has left an awe-inspiring trail, a celestial spectacle never witnessed before—a 200,000-light-year-long "contrail" adorned with newly born stars. This cosmic trail spans twice the diameter of our own Milky Way galaxy. Remarkably, this stunning phenomenon is believed to have arisen from an exceptionally rare and peculiar cosmic encounter involving three colossal black holes, akin to a game of galactic billiards.

Pieter van Dokkum of Yale University joins john michael godier on event horizon to discuss the runaway black hole candidate.
