Astronomers may have found a rare intermediate-mass black hole outside galaxy NGC 6099—offering clues about how bigger black holes form.

This black hole lies at the center of a well-studied spiral galaxy called NGC 1068, located 47 million light-years away in the Cetus constellation. The observations revealed a clumpy, cosmic doughnut.

However, a new simulation revealed just in time for Feb. 14 shows how dancing black holes can "vibe" with one another, forming a cosmic love story that is literally written in the stars.
