Rare discovery of twin black superholes

XMM-Newton X-ray Observatory of the European Space Agency (ESA) has discovered two black superholes in a normal galaxy. This will help clarify how galaxies merge into each other.

This is also the first case of astronomers to find pairs of black superholes in a normal galaxy . Unlike active galaxies, ordinary galaxies, or passive galaxies, are galaxies that are no longer able to produce stars.

For a long time, black holes in active galaxies are easier to find, as they continually "consume" gas clouds and stellar materials that emit X-rays. It is normal to have more luck in addition to trying to follow.

In this rare finding, two black holes are found in the intertwined state, the product of two combined galaxies, according to The Astrophysical Journal report.

Stefanie Komossa, a astronomer at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, hopes to find more similar cases in the future, allowing space experts to understand how and how inter-galactic merges will be on the operation of central black holes.
