NASA scientists were able to simulate the collision of two supermassive black hole spirals.
The resulting video is published on the official website of the US Space Agency.
This process for the moment, no one has been able to watch live.
"We know that galaxies with central supermassive black holes are meeting all the time in the universe, but we only see a small fraction of the galaxies with two of them near their center" said Scott Noble, an astrophysicist at the Spaceflight Center. Goddard in the Greenbelt, Maryland. "The couples we see do not emit strong signals of gravitational waves because they are too far apart from each other. Our goal is to identify, with a single light, even closer pairs, among which gravitational wave signals can be detected in the future. "
Also, earlier, Sept. 26, NASA had reported that if by 2019 she would not be able to reach the opportunity, she would be considered lost to science.
The US aerospace agency is still unable to contact the Mars Rover Opportunity, which has experienced a dust storm on the red planet, but at least is already seeing it on a new photo in orbit.
