In a groundbreaking discovery published in July 2026, NASA scientists identified a "wandering" supermassive black hole located far from its host galaxy's center.
在2026年7月發表的一項突破性發現中，NASA科學家鑑定出一顆位於遠離其主星系中心、正在「流浪」的超大質量黑洞。
Weighing one million times the mass of the Sun, this "orphan" black hole was discovered after it consumed a passing star in a dramatic process called a tidal disruption event (TDE).
這顆「孤兒」黑洞的質量約為太陽的一百萬倍，它是因為在一個被稱為潮汐撕裂事件（TDE）的戲劇性過程中吞噬了一顆經過的恆星而被發現的。
As the star was torn apart, it emitted an intense ultraviolet flare that outshone the entire galaxy.
當恆星被撕裂時，它釋放出強烈的紫外線耀斑，其亮度超過了整個星系。
Typically, supermassive black holes reside in the dense hearts of galaxies, making this discovery 750 million light-years away truly unique.
通常，超大質量黑洞位於星系密集的中心，因此這顆距離我們7.5億光年之遠的黑洞顯得十分獨特。
Researchers identified the event using a specialized artificial intelligence algorithm applied to data from the Zwicky Transient Facility.
研究人員利用一種應用於茲威基瞬變探測器（Zwicky Transient Facility）數據的專業人工智慧演算法鑑定出此事件。
This success is significant because it validates a new method for detecting "invisible" or wandering black holes that have been displaced, often by ancient galaxy collisions.
這項成功意義重大，因為它驗證了一種檢測「隱形」或流浪黑洞的新方法，這些黑洞通常是由古老的星系碰撞所導致的位移。
As NASA prepares the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope for future missions, this discovery provides a powerful new tool for mapping the mysterious, wandering giants that drift through the vast reaches of our universe.
隨著NASA為南西·葛蕾絲·羅曼太空望遠鏡（Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope）的未來任務做準備，這項發現為繪製那些在宇宙廣袤深處漂流的神祕流浪巨獸提供了強大的新工具。
