Hubble Detects a Rogue Supermassive Black Hole

The video explores a quasar named 3C 186, located 8 billion light years away, which is unusually displaced from its galaxy's center. This quasar, associated with a supermassive black hole, is moving at a high velocity due to gravitational waves from a merger of two black holes. The energy required for this movement is immense, equivalent to 100 million supernovas. The video explains the phenomenon using Hubble images and discusses the implications of such astronomical events.
