2 Monster Black Holes Spotted at Galaxy's Heart
Not one but two gigantic black holes lurk at the heart of the distant spiral galaxy NGC 7674, a new study suggests.
These two supermassive black holes are separated by less than 1 light-year and together harbor about 40 million times the mass of the sun, researchers said.
If it holds up, the find would be just the second known system of double supermassive black holes. The other, announced in 2006 , is in a galaxy known as 0402+379, whose two giant black holes are separated by about 24 light-years and boast a combined 15 billion solar masses.

Thank you for visiting, comments are welcome.
Perhaps someday we'll venture into the black holes to see what it beyond them.
The ultimate adventure.
You won't make it past the event horizon. Being crushed down to a molecular state, isn't my idea of having a good time, LOL!
Being a shape shifter that isn't a problem for me.
Matthew McConaughey managed to do it in Interstellar... I still don't understand that movie, but it was a good one!
