  Hubble Captures First-Ever Rogue Black Hole Devouring a Star Outside Galactic Core

  Astronomers led by Dr. Yuhan Yao have discovered the first offset tidal disruption event (TDE), where a rogue black hole outside a galaxy's core ripped apart a star. Spotted by the Hubble telescope and Zwicky Transient Facility, this marks historic evidence of a wandering supermassive black hole in action.
