Colliding Galaxies Reveal Colossal Black Holes

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the duck-and-cover dept.

Matt_dk writes "New observations made with the Submillimeter Array of telescopes in Hawaii suggest that black holes — thought to exist in many, if not all, galaxies — were common even in the early Universe, when galaxies were just beginning to form. Astronomers have found two very different galaxies in the distant Universe, both with colossal black holes at their hearts, involved in a spectacular collision."

    Theres a hole in my heart
    That can only be filled by you
    And this hole in my heart
    Cant be filled with the things I do

    Hole hearted
    Hole hearted

    This heart of stone is where I hide
    These feet of clay kept warm inside
    Day by day less satisfied
    Not fade away before I die

    Rivers flow into the sea
    Yet even the sea is not so full of me
    If Im not blind why cant I see
    That a circle cant fit
    Where a square should be

    Theres a hole in my heart
    That can only be filled by you
    And this hole in my heart
    Cant be filled with the things I do
    Theres a hole in my heart
    That can only be filled by you
    And this hole in my heart
    Cant be filled with the things I do

    Hole hearted
