Discovery News Great Title: Black Holes Slug it Out in Quasar Deathmatch

Author:

Ian O’Neil has a very interesting article in Discovery News from 8-28-15.  I really like the title.  Black Holes Slug it Out in Quasar Deathmatch.    His article is full of information has has a good video too.

“As they orbit one another inside the quasar’s core, the smaller black hole carves out a region at the inner edge, also creating its own, smaller accretion disk. Calculations show that the pair complete one orbit every 1.2 years. The larger black hole is approximately 150 million times the mass of our sun and its smaller partner is 4 million times the mass of our sun.”
