在星系 B2 0402+379 中发现了一对 280 亿太阳质量的超大质量黑洞。 28-billion-solar-mass pair of supermassive black holes discovered in galaxy B2 0402+379.

天文学家在星系 B2 0402+379 中发现了有史以来最重的一对超大质量黑洞，其总质量是太阳的 280 亿倍。 Astronomers have discovered the heaviest pair of supermassive black holes ever recorded, with a combined mass of 28 billion times that of the Sun, in the galaxy B2 0402+379. 这些黑洞相距 24 光年，停滞了超过 30 亿年，提供了对双星系统形成的深入了解，并支持了质量在阻止潜在合并中发挥关键作用的理论。 The black holes, stalled 24 light-years apart for over three billion years, provide insight into the formation of binary systems and support the theory that mass plays a key role in stalling potential mergers.
