Astronomers think that a galaxy called PKS 2131-021 harbors at its core not one but two orbiting supermassive black holes. This animation explains how the orbital motion of a powerful jet revealed the presence of the monstrous duo.

Is the bgm for this video taken from space ambient's channel?
so this is a quote from that article ….."That equates to an orbital distance of just 0.03 light-years, around 50 times the average distance between the Sun and Pluto. Yet, so fast are they moving that it takes just two Earth years for the two objects to complete a binary orbit, compared to Pluto's 248 years." …..
Ok that seems very unlikely …imagine a black hole in orbit .. moving through space …50 times the orbit of pluto in 2 years ….
Gravitational astronomy is in its infancy. Will LISA have the resolution to detect these pre-merger pairs?
there is no such thing ! see the thunderbolts project for real science instead of fairytale non science dogmatic beliefs
I can't think of what a supermassive blackhole will be capable of doing. Space is fascinating.
