These three black holes are going to crash into each other

CNN — When galaxies collide, so do the supermassive black holes at the center of each galaxy. European Southern Observatory This image from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey shows the galaxy J0437+2456, which includes a supermassive black hole at its center that appears to be moving. Zolt Levay/Space Telescope Science Institute This artist's impression of the distant galaxy ID2299 shows some of its gas being ejected by a "tidal tail" as a result of a merger between two galaxies. This artist's illustration shows the orbits of two stars and an invisible black hole 1,000 light-years from Earth. Calçada This illustration shows a star's core, known as a white dwarf, pulled into orbit around a black hole.
