Today's Picture

What's happening in the middle of this massive galaxy?There, two bright sources at the center of thiscomposite x-ray (blue)/ radio (pink) image are thought to be co-orbiting supermassive black holes powering the giant radio source 3C 75 .Surrounded by multimillion degree x-ray emitting gas, andblasting out jets of relativistic particles the supermassive black holes are separated by 25,000 light-years.At the cores of two merging galaxies in the Abell 400galaxy cluster they are some 300 million light-years away. Astronomers conclude that these two supermassive blackholes are bound together by gravity in a binary system in part because the jets' consistent swept back appearance is most likely due to theircommon motion as they speed through the hot cluster gas at 1200 kilometers per second .Such spectacular cosmic mergers are thought to be common in crowded galaxy cluster environmentsin the distant universe.In their final stages the mergers are expected to be intensesources of gravitational waves .
