Just like our Milky Way Galaxy, there’s a large hole at the centre of other galaxies at well. Sometimes, these galaxies can collide with each other in the vast expanse of our universe. So, what happens to these galactic centres i.e., black holes when such a collision occurs? Well, they start to grow, rapidly.
According to NASA, as the galaxies collide and material start to fall toward the giant black holes, they get heated to over millions of degrees and produce X-rays. The discovery was made possible with the help of NASA s Chandra X-ray Observatory in addition to multiple other telescope facilities.
