We know that galaxies can collide, and we’ve always expected such events to be pretty traumatic. But now some clever astronomers have spotted that one pair of colliding galaxies have managed to spit out a large black hole. And I mean spit out – fast enough to escape the gravity well of the galaxy. That’s an object massing the same as several million suns, traveling at 2650 km/s. Wow!
