NASA: Galaxy survives black hole’s ‘feast’ of ravenous forces, continues to birth new stars– for now – WTSP.com
Host galaxies typically find themselves on the losing end of battles with the hungriest of black holes.
While black holes usually take the upper hand in consuming galaxies, NASA says one more than 5.25 billion light-years away seems to be holding out.
Galaxy CQ4479 is defying the odds of one of the “hungriest” black holes, which are thought to consume so much surrounding material that they put an end to their host galaxies, by at least temporarily staying alive.
NASA says it appears to be surviving the ravenous forces through birthing new stars– about 100 the size of the sun each year to be exact.
