Twisted Jet Confirms Most Extreme Binary Black Hole System in the Universe
Astronomers have confirmed that the blazar OJ 287 hosts the most extreme binary black hole system ever found. Using a global radio telescope array, they captured an ultra-sharp image showing a dramatically bent jet—evidence of two supermassive black holes locked in orbit. The system’s 12-year flare cycle and jet twists match predictions of a sm...

JWST Finds Black Hole Between Galaxy Cores, Hinting at Rare Direct Collapse Birth
Using JWST, astronomers discovered a black hole between two galaxy cores in the Infinity Galaxy—possibly the first direct evidence of a black hole formed by gas collapse, not stellar death. This rare “heavy seed” black hole challenges standard models and could help explain how supermassive black holes appeared so soon after the Big Bang.

When Two Massive Black Holes Merged And Went Flying Across Cosmos
The researchers propose that this ejection resulted from the collision of two galaxies, causing their central black holes to merge into a larger one.
