It's located 600 million light-years away that is host to the telltale signature of a roaming supermassive black hole.

Visible in the Hubble image is a tidal disruption event (TDE), an intense flash of radiation caused by the supermassive black hole eating a star.

The TDE appears as an isolated blue-white point source of ultraviolet light, while the galaxy is colored orange in visible light.

In addition, X-ray light is captured by Chandra as a blue haze that surrounds the TDE.

Both Hubble and Chandra observations were combined to pinpoint the TDE's location, which is offset from the center of the galaxy, which appears as a bright orange-white blob.
