A rapidly growing black hole

This Arp 299 system consists of a pair of galaxies, IC 694 and NGC 3690, which underwent a close encounter about 700 million years ago. As a result of this interaction, the system underwent a fierce burst of star formation. In the past fifteen years or so, six supernovae have exploded in the outermost regions of the galaxy, making this system a prominent supernova factory. Credit: NASA

Astronomers have discovered a rapidly growing black hole in one of the most well-known galaxies in the primordial universe
