Scientists simulating the death of supermassive stars witnessed an unusual kick that sometimes occurs in the moments after a black hole forms.

    Around 1000 km per second. Mph, come on.

    Edit: says so right in tfa, I’ll take the come on back

    Edit 2: the escape velocity of the milky way is said to be 550 km per second. The orbital velocity of the sun around the milky way is 230 km per second.

    Are they drunk? Really really angry? Very anti-social and aggressive like motorcycle thugs?

        I’m gonna need a star-sized cat to sit on those black hole Roombas and ride around the universe for shits and giggles.

        Sounds like a Beatles song, if they were formed in 2015.

            I have no idea what this means but it’s sounds fabulous so I’ll say yes, and go off to search it up.

      The article seems to imply that speed is relative to the star who’s nova formed the black hole. That speed from the headline is seen only for moments after formation.

          Thanks. I saw that too, but I attempted a few times and it was still formatting weird. 🤷

          But I’ll give it another go using that tip. Whenever I try to quote multiple paragraphs again. 👍🏻
