In three years, we might be able to witness the collision of two supermassive black holes.
One of the most awaited events in modern astronomy, according to astronomers, may soon be among us.
According to a Science Alert report, fluctuations in light measurements from the galaxy SDSS J1430+center 2303's point to the possibility of a major collision between two supermassive black holes with a total mass of about 200 million Suns.
Real-time supermassive black hole collision
The collision, coupled with the first black hole image taken by the Event Horizon Telescope, may rank among the greatest modern astronomical events if the scientists' interpretation of the data is right (EHT). In this situation, according to the scientists' data, the black holes will merge within the next three years, which is a very short period of time in the context of scientific studies.
