2 Months Ago, Casey Kazan Daily Galaxy Editorial Staff from The Daily Galaxy says (in Image of the Day: A White Dwarf Swallowed by a Supermassive Black Hole) New results from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Magellan telescopes suggest that a dense stellar remnant has been ripped apart by a black hole a thousand times as massive as the Sun in NGC 1399, an elliptical galaxy about 65 million light years from Earth.

And Lisa Grossman, Science News from Wired says (in Elusive Supermassive-Black-Hole Mergers Finally Found) WASHINGTON — The universe is one big dance party for black holes. New observations from the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii and the Hubble Space Telescope found 33 merged galaxies in which pairs of supermassive black holes are “waltzing” around the galactic centers.

And Casey Kazan Daily Galaxy Editorial Staff from TheDailyGalaxyNewsFromPlanetEarthBeyond (Feedburner) says (in Discovery of 33 Pairs of Black Holes Show Supermassive Systems Common in Universe) Astronomical observations have shown that nearly every galaxy has a central supermassive black hole (with a mass of a million to a billion times the mass of the Sun), and that galaxies commonly collide and merge to form new, more massive galaxies. As a consequence of these two observation...
