Two colliding galaxies may have birthed this black hole
SMRTR summary
Two colliding galaxies likely created a unique supermassive black hole, a study suggests. Researchers observed an "Infinity galaxy" with a centrally located black hole, rather than in the expected former galactic cores. The black hole, with a mass of 1 million suns, likely formed from compressed gas during the collision. This discovery may support the theory that some supermassive black holes form directly from collapsing gas clouds, potentially explaining early massive black holes in the universe.
