If it enveloped in ketchup?

It may come just in time.

🤞🏼

And the vibe is always just: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They had me at “Cosmic Owl”.

This is Joe Biden’s fault

My guy can't catch a break! youtube.com/shorts/evy6h...

“The incredible speed of this supermassive black hole means it is around 230,000 light-years from its point of origin.” Mind blown.

I hope it finds what it's looking for and makes lots of friends on the way. What an adventure!

mom, come back

Nah, screw those guys

🥲

Where’s it going?

Now I'm really worried about the thing that the supermassive black hole is running away from.

This kind of news usually scares me yet today I’m like … bring it. Bring on the cosmic etch-a-sketch reset

So cool!!! 😎

Thanks Obama

WOW 😳

More importantly, looks like there’s an owl God in pursuit!! 🖖🏼

The Hubble image from the article really drives home how fast this guy is moving. Look at it go!

Dang it, the earworm never fails. 🎶…supermassive black hole… 🎶

what do you MEAN "cosmic owl"??

*cranks up Muse*

Runaway supermassive black hole: If you’ll have us.

Oh shit! That Cosmic Owl bout to get wrecked!

There's always a bigger black hole.

If true, take us, please.

This is not the comfort you seem to think it is 😱

Oh I think one of those is quite enough for a Universe, don't you agree?

Who knows? We might be in one right now and not know it. Speed is relative.

This is incredibly cool. However, I still laughed like Beavis and Butthead when I read: “The velocity of the displaced gas is directly related to the velocity of the black hole”

Somebody should do something about that

Reminds me of Ellis Rosen's cartoon. "Evolve for your lives!"

This is what numbers were invented for, it's all coming to fruition

i can fix him

That supermassive black hole went out for a pack of smokes and never came back

We get to wave 👋 at 3I-ATLAS

It should have a boombox attached to it blasting out Muse....

You're right, but that's because my estimate was *way* too small. A sphere 10 million times the radius of the sun contains the volume of 1 sextillion suns (10^21). The milky way contains roughly 1 trillion solar masses, so it could contain 1 billion milky ways as dense as the sun.

The Universe’s trash compacter.

Earth, most likely. That’s our frame of reference. And since we’re moving relatively slowly in the grand scheme of things, it’s fairly representative of most non-exotic astronomical objects.

far out

fuck yeah. hell yeah. fucking space lets go.

This is the other amazng part

How do we know it's not stationary, with the rest of the cosmos moving past it at 2.2 million mph?

Of course, the sky would be a dead giveaway.

2,000,000 mph …from whose frame of reference?

who hurt him

that's great, this is probably a galactic core of a young galaxy that got ejected in an early universe galactic merging event
