James Webb Reveals Black Hole Kicked Out of Galaxy Center

• James Webb Space Telescope discovered a supermassive black hole in galaxy NGC 4486B was ejected from its center.
• The black hole was displaced by a 'gravitational wave recoil kick' following the merger of two black holes.
• It is currently 19.5 light-years from the center, moving at 16 km/s, and is expected to return in 30 million years.
• The galaxy NGC 4486B, initially thought to have two nuclei, actually has an 'eccentric nuclear disk' creating the illusion.
• Data from James Webb (NIRSpec) and Hubble Telescopes, combined with simulations, confirmed this violent cosmic event.
