Astrophysicist Says That Supermassive Black Holes May Have “Friends”

The black holes at the heart of the universe may have been created by the same supermassive black hole.

There is new evidence to suggest that the black hole at the center of our home galaxy may have a friend.

Let's get the full picture of this bromance by studying a larger astrophysics theory.

Smadar Naoz wrote in the announcement that nobody is sure why most of the universe is made of black holes. The theory is that we are in close proximity to two black holes that may be similar to the ones in a star system.

The first black holes were created when the first stars died around 100 million years into the universe's existence.

Naoz wrote that Galaxies evolved by merging with each other, resulting in black holes that are ten times denser than our Sun.

A dynamic duo.

What if the mergers and acquisitions resulted in two supermassive, and one smaller, black holes?

There is no way that our universe is home to an elliptical pair of black holes because scientists study a star called SO-2 every 16 years.

She wrote that it is possible that the smaller companion black hole may not alter the shape of SO-2 in a way we can easily measure.

This insight into the relationship between the stars and black holes could change the way we study black holes in the future.

It is nice to know that black holes are not alone in the universe.

The black hole at the center of our universe may have a friend.

Black holes might be even bigger than previously thought.
