This may be one of the big corrections of the year in astronomy, because a few weeks ago NASA announced that the Hubble Space Telescope had captured a possible runaway supermassive black hole, which was creating a trail of forming stars in its path.
Although he warned that the finding had to be confirmed, everything was based on the image shown, where a row of stars of the approximate size of our galaxy, the Milky Way, can be seen.
Now a study carried out by a research team from the Canary Islands Astrophysics Institute has revealed that it was not correct, that what NASA said is not true, that it is something much less impressive than a wandering supermassive black hole.
According to researchers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, this unusual and thin star structure could simply be a galaxy seen edge-on, it would be one without a bulge of the type called thin or flat galaxies that are relatively common in the universe.
The work of the researchers from the Canary Islands Astrophysics Institute was published in a scientific journal and they hope that future operations will be able to study this object in greater detail and thus know if it is a wandering supermassive hole or just a galaxy seen edge-on.
