2 Pairs of Gigantic Runaway Black Holes Spotted on Collision Course, And They’re Bringing Four Entire Galaxies With Them

Posted by in categories: cosmology, materials

Two pairs of gigantic black holes, each in a different dwarf galaxy, are speeding towards each other, and they’re set for two separate, never-before-seen collisions.

Astronomers used NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory to spot the four dwarf galaxy black holes racing towards each other, dragging an enormous train of gas and stars in their wake. Some of this material is already being sucked into the black holes, causing them to grow ever larger before their eventual crashes.
