Runaway black holes could travel across galaxies at speeds reaching thousands of kilometers per second.
Gravitational wave observations have revealed spin angles that support runaway black hole scenarios.
James Webb Space Telescope images show straight stellar contrails in distant galaxies that may indicate runaways.
Contrails could form as a runaway black hole travels, pulling gas and forming new stars in its wake.
Some dogs: smaller runaway black holes are expected to exist alongside their massive counterparts.
Runaway black holes could, in theory, move at speeds that avoid typical galactic orbits.
Observers have correlated streak-like features with the passage of a black hole through a galaxy.
The potential for a solar system–intervening runaway black hole remains extremely unlikely.
The research integrates theory with multiple observations since gravitational wave discoveries began in 2015.
The study highlights a broader universe where runaways affect star formation and galactic dynamics.

Webb captures the Helix Nebula’s final breath as the dying star releases gas and dust in a striking, iridescent display.
New Webb imagery shows a blue-hot to red-cool gas gradient in a ring-like nebula shaped like an iris.
Webb’s NIRCam imaging delivers detail beyond prior observations, aided by ground-based VISTA data.
NASA explains the Helix Nebula’s colors show the star’s final breath becoming ingredients for new worlds.
The Helix Nebula lies about 650 light-years from Earth and has been visible to observers for two centuries.
The image pair combines Webb data with ESO and VISTA imagery to show material moving toward space as it cools and disperses.
NASA describes the Helix Nebula as a white dwarf in late stages of life, contributing materials for future star formation.
The Helix Nebula is compared to the Eye of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings in earlier imagery.
The image underscores Webb’s ability to reveal how stars enrich future planetary systems.

JWST captured the first cosmic question mark in 2023, near the star-forming region Herbig-Haro 46/47.
A second question mark appeared in 2024 due to gravitational lensing by the massive cluster MACS-J0417.5-1154.
NASA explains the lensing pattern shows two distant galaxies forming a question-mark shape as part of an early interaction.
The 2023 and 2024 findings help scientists understand how galaxies grow through mergers over cosmic time.
NASA notes that the question-mark shapes arise from distant, not nearby, objects in infrared imaging.
The article notes the initial focus was on star formation, not the question-mark shape.
The 2023 image highlighted Herbig-Haro 46/47 as the main point of interest near the question mark.
Astronomers describe the 2024 lensing case as beginning of an interaction between galaxies.
The article emphasizes that gravitational lensing can produce multiple images of distant objects.
