X-ray observations with Chandra resolved two actively accreting black holes, while Keck spectroscopy confirmed that both belong to the same merging galaxy. The paper outlining the research was submitted to the arXiv preprint server on July 20.","category":"Science","image":null,"lang":"en","publishedAt":"2026-08-17T15:10:01+00:00","createdAt":"2026-08-17T15:30:13.864737+00:00"}}
