Astronomers Seek Binary Supermassive Black Holes in Galactic Centers
Astronomers have detected possible binary black holes at the centres of galaxies, using light patterns from active galactic nuclei as key indicators. The study of PG 1553+153, in particular, shows evidence of a 20-year variation, pointing to a system of two supermassive black holes. If confirmed, this could provide new insights into galaxy formatio...

Astronomers Uncover New Details of CIZA0107 Galaxy Cluster Merger with VLA
A team of astronomers, led by Emma Schwartzmann from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, used the Very Large Array (VLA) to study the nearby galaxy cluster merger CIZA J0107.7+5408 (CIZA0107). The observations provided new insights into the dynamics of galaxy mergers, revealing a disturbed system with two subclusters and diffuse radio emission span...

Hubble Telescope Captures Image of Merging Galaxies in Coma Cluster, 390 Million Light-Years Away
NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have shared an image of two galaxies, MCG+05-31-045, interacting within the Coma Cluster. Located 390 million light-years away, the pair is in the midst of a cosmic merger. As the smaller galaxy is pulled into the larger one, a new wave of star formation is expected. Over time, the galaxies will likely evolv...

Milky Way and Andromedia Fated Collision Might Not Happen, Reveals New Study
Recent research has cast doubt on the certainty of the Milky Way-Andromeda galaxy collision, suggesting the event may not be as inevitable as once thought. Traditionally, astronomers have predicted that our galaxy would merge with Andromeda within the next 5 billion years, creating a new elliptical galaxy often referred to as "Milkomeda." However, ...

"Cosmic Ballet": 2 Galaxies Merge In Space, Webb Telescope Sends In Pics
NASA released a pair of images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope showing two galaxies in the process of merging in sort of a cosmic ballet.

Twin Black Holes Spotted Feasting On Cosmic Materials
At the centre of two merging galaxies, two black holes have been observed devouring matter side by side, raising the possibility that binary black holes are more frequent than previously assumed.

Researchers Find New Way to Measure Void in Pair of Merging Supermassive Black Holes
Two Columbia University researchers have invented a method of observing into the void between a pair of supermassive black holes that may be more convenient than previous ways. With this new development, astronomers may be able to study black holes smaller than Messier 87 in galaxies further away.

NASA Shares Spectacular Image of Galaxies Merging 140 Million Light-Years From Earth
NASA has shared an image of two swirling galaxies merging 140 million light-years from the Earth on Instagram.

Merging Galaxy Clusters Cause Biggest Bang In The Universe
Two galaxy clusters are clashing with each other at supersonic speeds and merging together to create a larger galaxy cluster and in the process have created a turbulent cloud of gas that is ten times hotter than the Sun.

Gravitational Waves Form 10 Million Years After Black Holes Merge
Gravitational waves are formed around 10 million years after two galaxies collide and their central black holes merge - about 100 times faster than previously thought, a new study has found.

Hubble Captures 2 Galaxies Merging 230 Million Light-Years Away
The Hubble space telescope has captured an image of two galaxies merging into a single structure about 230 million light-years away.
