The discovery offers the first observational evidence that supermassive black holes can be ejected from their home galaxies to roam interstellar space...The researchers discovered the runaway black hole as a bright streak of light while they were using the Hubble Space Telescope to observe the dwarf galaxy RCP 28, located about 7.5 billion light-years from Earth.

And who the F is James Webb anyway?NASA Administrator from 1961-1968 who apparently didn't like homos.
Which is why the left cried when they named a telescope after him.

Don't they have editors at msn.com?
The same three paragraphs are repeated eight times.
The authors must be getting paid by the word.

Aren’t there some additional taxes we can pay, or some random reductions in standard of living we can subject ourselves to that will stop this runaway black hole? #settledscience
