Three giant black holes discovered in a galaxy from the dawn of time
Astronomers have found three massive black holes in a distant galaxy that dates back to the universe's early days. Two of these black holes are close together and may eventually combine, while the third is significantly farther away. One of the black holes has an enormous mass.
Why it's good news: This discovery provides new insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies in the early universe.
