This weeks last apod blog is based off "Black Holes in Merging Galaxies"which is an illustration of galaxies that merge and have the ability to feed on supermassive balck holes.As a result, there is an intense emission from regions near the supermassive black holes. Therefore, it creates some of the most luminous objects in the universe. These optical images are from the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona. At top center is NGC 7319 and the compact galaxy group known as Stephan's Quintet. I would also like to add that this has been a great year, thank you for taking the time to enlighten all of us on the wonders of space, and in the future I will look to apod just for enjoyment.
Thanks again,
Sheila
