Astronomers working with the W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea, Hawaiʻi Island have identified a rare and unusual galaxy they’ve dubbed the “Infinity” galaxy. This intriguing object appears to have formed when two galaxies collided, creating a shape that closely resembles the infinity symbol. Nestled at the center, surrounded by a cloud of gas, may be something truly extraordinary: a newly formed supermassive black hole.
