"Discovery: Record-Breaking Black Hole Pair Weighs 28 Billion Times the Sun's Mass"

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers have discovered a pair of supermassive black holes, weighing a combined 28 billion times the mass of the Sun, in the elliptical galaxy BR 0402 + 379, located 750 million light-years away. The black holes, caught in a perpetual dance, were formed from a massive intergalactic pileup and have been locked in a stasis for roughly 3 billion years. The binary may require a fresh delivery of matter to finally merge, potentially creating gravitational waves a hundred million times more powerful than any seen before.
