A Yale University-led team of scientists say they’ve made a groundbreaking discovery: the possible birth of a supermassive black hole. The newborn black hole is believed to have formed at the convergence of two galaxies that collided about 50 million years ago,

Yale astronomer Pieter van Dokkum and a team of researchers have discovered an object in space they call the "Infinity" galaxy—two recently-collided galaxies that, together, look like the symbol for infinity.

Astronomers have discovered the ‘Infinity’ galaxy — two merging galaxies forming a supermassive black hole — possibly the first direct evidence of black hole birth. The finding could reshape our understanding of early universe formation.
