NASA's Swift Observatory Discovers Twin Black Holes Disturbing Galactic Gas Clouds
- Thursday November 14, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA's Swift Observatory has recorded a unique signal from two orbiting black holes interacting with a gas cloud in a distant galaxy. This phenomenon, called AT 2021hdr, is marked by recurring gas disturbances due to the black holes' orbit, which astronomers believe could eventually lead to their merger. Observations continue, promising insights in...
