Astro Brief: Supermassive Black Holes

Adis Resic

Astronomers discover a supermassive shooting black hole.

In space, galaxy collisions are a natural process, but when three galaxies collided, something unusual happened. One of the black holes was ejected, carrying with it gas, forming a wake of new stars. Mike explains black holes, relativity, and galaxy collisions this week on Astro Brief.
