Two monster black holes may collide within 100 years
Original: Two monster black holes could collide in just 100 years
Astronomers report that a pair of supermassive black holes could merge in as little as 100 years, an unexpectedly short timescale for such cosmic events. If confirmed, the collision would release enormous gravitational waves and offer a rare chance to study how black holes grow and how galaxies evolve.
Why now: New research suggests an unusually imminent supermassive black hole merger, a rare event astronomers rarely get to anticipate on human timescales
