An article published in the journal “Nature” reports the discovery of a pair of merging galaxies cataloged as SDSS J0749+2255 which has the peculiarity of hosting a double quasar. A team of researchers led by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign used various ground-based and space telescopes to study SDSS J0749+2255 to obtain observations detailed enough to resolve the two quasars, both of which are extremely bright. The difficulty in these observations is also given by the fact that this pair is very distant and we see it as it was when the universe was about three billion years old and the distance between the two supermassive black holes that power their respective quasars is only about ten thousand light-years.
