Astrologers has published a new image depicting the collision of 2 galaxies. In the center of each of them - supermassive black holes.

Rare footage has been obtained with the Hubble telescope and the nuclear spectroscopic telescope company nustar. They depict 2 colliding galaxies that are removed from the Earth at 134 million light years. The common name of galaxies Arp 299.

The black hole in the right part quickly increases due to absorption of gas clouds, and the one on the left is located in the state of rest or hidden by gas and dust. The research will help scientists to understand how to grow black holes, especially in the collision of galaxies, and forcing them to suck all around.

"When galaxies collide, the gas spreads around them, feeding black holes and participating in the formation of fresh stars. We wish to understand the mechanisms that trigger black holes," proclaimed scientist Andrew Ptak on the website of NASA.

Company nustar is the first space telescope hard x-ray range, working on the principle of moving flare - flare x-rays and gamma rays at extremely small angles to the surface of the mirrors. Previously, he was already showing the image of the Sun with maximum detail.
