Marco Ajello : Every galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center, much like every egg has a yolk.

He says astronomers expect to find binary black holes orbiting each other at the hearts of some galaxies.

Measureting how often these binary super massive black holes form can help researchers understand what happens to galaxies when they merge.

Marco Ajello is an astrophyscist with strong interests in astro-particle physics and cosmology.

He found a 20-year pattern that adds more evidence to his theory that there’s a binary system at the core of PG 1553+153 .

The final confirmation might need to wait until pulsar timing arrays become sensitive enough to detect gravitational waves.
