Hubble captures first-ever sighting of runaway supermassive black hole.

TL;DR Summary
Scientists have discovered a rogue supermassive black hole that originated from a dwarf galaxy located 7.5 billion light-years from Earth. The black hole was kicked out of its original location after a galactic merger brought two supermassive black holes too close together. When galaxies of a certain size merge, they will likely each have their own supermassive black hole. As such, the black holes then meet at some point. Usually, these black holes will be drawn to each other, orbiting each other, and sometimes the black holes will merge themselves.
