A Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics-led team found three active supermassive black holes in galaxy J0148-4214, seen as it was 1.2 billion years after the Big Bang, with two just 620 light-years apart and expected to merge eventually. ScienceDaily
ScienceDailyThree giant black holes discovered in a galaxy from the dawn of timeAstronomers have discovered three actively feeding black holes inside a single galaxy more than 12.5 billion light-years away, revealing a remarkable scene from the universe’s infancy. Two of the black holes are separated by just 620 light-years and are expected to eventually merge, while a third lu
What would finding such crowded black-hole systems so early say about how quickly the first giants could grow?
