Andromeda galaxy and black hole. A cosmic photobomb found as a background object in images of the nearby andromeda galaxy has revealed what could be the most tightly coupled pair of supermassive black holes ever seen. It seems like even black holes cant resist the temptation to insert themselves unannounced into photographs. The spiral arms of the andromeda galaxy are being distorted by gravitational interactions with two companion galaxies m32 and m110. Not only does it have a massive star cluster right at its heart but it also has at least one supermassive black hole hidden at the core.
Andromeda the nearest galaxy to the milky way. A probable outcome of the. A cosmic photobomb found as a background object in images of the nearby andromeda galaxy has revealed what could be the most tightly coupled pair of supermassive black holes ever seen. Andromeda galaxys tangential or sideways speed with relevancy the milky way is comparatively abundant smaller than the approaching speed and thus its expected to collide directly with the milky way in concerning four billion years.
It seems like even black holes cant resist the temptation to insert themselves unannounced into photographs. The andromeda galaxy has a very crowded double nucleus. Astronomers thought j004541 was 2 orbiting stars part of the nearby andromeda galaxy. A combination of x ray and optical imagery shows the black hole pair known as j004541 glowing amid the much closer stars of the andromeda galaxy.
