Scientists Believe Unusual Star Structure , May Not Be 'Runaway' Black Hole.<br />'The Independent' reports that scientists may <br />have solved the mystery surrounding a "runaway" <br />black hole shooting across the universe.<br />In April, scientists found a black hole that they <br />believed was thrown out of its home galaxy <br />and sent speeding across the cosmos. .<br />Astronomers discovered a long trail of stars stretching <br />out into a narrow shape that is approximately <br />the same size as our own Milky Way galaxy. .<br />At first, scientists believed <br />the trail of stars was left behind <br />in the wake of a runaway black hole. .<br />Now, scientists at the Instituto de Astrofísica <br />de Canarias (IAC) suggest a much more ordinary <br />explanation for the unusual star structure.<br />The IAC team believes that <br />the anomaly may just be a flat, thin galaxy <br />that is being observed from its side.<br />The motions, the size, and the quantity <br />of stars fits what has been seen in <br />galaxies within the local universe, Jorge Sanchez Almeida, IAC researcher and <br />first author of the article, via 'The Independent'.<br />It’s a relief to have found the solution <br />to this mystery, the new proposed <br />scenario is much simpler, Jorge Sanchez Almeida, IAC researcher and <br />first author of the article, via 'The Independent'.<br />In one sense it is also a pity, because <br />the existence of fleeing black holes <br />is expected, and this could have <br />been the first one to be observed, Jorge Sanchez Almeida, IAC researcher and <br />first author of the article, via 'The Independent'.<br />'The Independent' reports that the team hopes <br />further observations will reveal more details of <br />the galaxy that prove interesting to astronomers.
