Summary
[edit]DescriptionGemini South Reveals Tangled Spiral Arms of the Peculiar Galaxy NGC 7727 (noirlab2325xa).tiff |
English: Gemini South, one half of the International Gemini Observatory operated by NSF’s NOIRLab, captures the billion-year-old aftermath of a double spiral galaxy collision. At the heart of this chaotic interaction, entwined and caught in the midst of the chaos, is a pair of supermassive black holes — the closest such pair ever recorded from Earth. |
