Triple Supermassive Black Holes Unleash Fire in Cosmic Collision

• Scientists discovered a 'Triple Radio AGN' system (J1218/1219+1035) 1.2 billion light-years away, where three galaxies are colliding.
• For the first time, supermassive black holes in all three colliding galaxies are simultaneously active, devouring matter and emitting powerful radio waves.
• The discovery, confirmed by NASA's WISE, U.S. National Science Foundation's VLA and VLBA, provides strong evidence for the 'Hierarchical Galaxy Evolution' theory.
• This unique system offers a 'front-row seat' to how massive galaxies and their black holes grow through mergers.
• Future studies will use X-ray and near-infrared to understand energy flow, suggesting more such radio-active systems exist.

Why It Matters: Historic discovery of three simultaneously active supermassive black holes confirms galaxy evolution theory.
