If initial indications are correct, we're on the verge of witnessing a historic cataclysmic event.
If the scientists have correctly interpreted the data, the collision could go down in history as one of the great modern astronomical events, alongside the
captured by the Event Horizon Telescope . In this case, the astronomers believe their data indicates the black holes will merge within the next three years — a minute timescale when it comes to astronomical observations.However, the scientists do concede that more observations are needed to help confirm whether two black holes are on the verge of colliding at the heart of J1429+2303.
Still, the astronomers believe the event will still emit a massive outburst of light across the spectrum that they'll be able to capture using other observatories. If and when it does happen, it could help the scientific community learn a great deal about the evolution of supermassive black holes.We don't fully understand how supermassive black holes become so large, though there is some indication they might form due to binary black hole mergers.
