James Webb telescope just spotted the oldest, closest pair of black holes in the early universe
Astronomers have discovered a close pair of actively feeding supermassive black holes, seen when the universe was just 1.3 billion years old. Collectively known as LID-1166, the two monsters are separated by only about 4,900 light-years (1.5 kiloparsecs) inside a merging galaxy, offering the first clear view of a phase that's critical for understanding the growth of supermassive black holes.Most large galaxies we can see formed over billions of …
When a group of astronomers set out two years ago to map parts of the ancient cosmos, they hoped to find galaxies containing two black holes. The universe gave them an even bigger surprise: they found a galaxy with three. It’s the first time scientists find evidence of a young galaxy that houses a trio of active supermassive black holes, according to an article published on Wednesday in Astronomy & Astrophysics magazine. Two of them are so close…

GV WireTelescope Spots Two Black Holes on the Cusp of Merging
When astronomers set out two years ago to map parts of the ancient cosmos, they hoped to find galaxies that contained two black holes. The universe did them one better: They found a galaxy with three.
Astronomers Discover Three Supermassive Black Holes In A Single Distant Galaxy For The First Time Ever
Astronomers have identified three supermassive black holes in a single galaxy, offering new insights into early black hole growth and galaxy evolution, using data from the James Webb Space Telescope.
A group of astronomers identified three massive and active black holes, accreting matter, in the same galaxy located more than 12.5 billion light-years away from the Earth. Two of them were close to one another and grouped in the centre of the galaxy, while the third is at its periphery. It is [...] This article Unpublished: Three supermassive black holes observed in the same galaxy appeared first on Trust My Science.
