Oct 23, 2024, 03:05 PM
Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery of a 'black hole trio,' marking the first known instance of a triple black hole system. This finding may provide the first direct evidence of what is referred to as 'gentle' black hole formation. The discovery was made by researchers at MIT and published in the journal Nature. The system was identified as a result of a 'happy accident,' highlighting the unexpected nature of astronomical research. This significant advancement in our understanding of black holes could reshape current theories regarding their formation and evolution in the universe.
