TehraThree supermassive monster black holes ‘caught in the act’ of coming togetherTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC) -An international team of stargazers believed they’ve found a rare ‘triple system’ of galaxies with gigantic monster black holes at their core.

Each behemoth is likely to be emitting huge spurts of gravitational waves as they swirl around each other.

The threesome forms a massive system called SDSS J0849+1114, which is believed to be made of three holes locked in orbit.

A supermassive black hole can be found lurking at the centre of most galaxies, where it’s either dormant or active.

The three colossi believed to be lurking in SDSS J0849+1114 are active, which means they are shining brightly as they munch up anything unlucky enough to be nearby.
