Scientists capture the first-ever photos of twin black holes circling each other 5 billion light-years away

Astronomers have captured the first radio image of two supermassive black holes orbiting each other within the quasar OJ287, located 5 billion light-years away. This groundbreaking visual confirmation validates long-held theories about such binary systems. The image, achieved through a collaboration of Earth-based and space telescopes, reveals the black holes via their particle jets and surrounding glowing gas.
