The Hubble Space Telescope, launched on April 24, 1990, discovered many new significant facts about our Milky Way and beyond. Throughout the history of science, revolutionary instruments propel our understanding with their landmark discoveries. The Hubble Space Telescope is a testament to that concept. From determining the atmospheric composition of planets around other stars to discovering dark energy, Hubble has changed humanity's understanding of the universe.

Since its launch, The Chandra X-ray Observatory, has been NASAs flagship mission and is specially designed to detect x-ray emission from many hot regions of the universe. Chandra carries 4 sensitive mirrors nested inside each other. The energetic x-rays strike the insides of the hollow shells and are focussed onto electronic detectors at the end of the 9.2- m (30-ft.) optical bench.

The Chandra X-Ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered the closest confirmed pair of supermassive black holes in tight proximity. Like two Sumo Wrestlers, they spin around each other rapidly. These black holes, buried deep inside a pair of colliding galaxies, are fueled by infalling gas and dust. While several “dual” black holes were discovered before, their separations are typically much greater than what we discovered in the gas-rich galaxy MCG-03-34-64.

The discovery was unanticipated. Hubble's high resolution imaging revealed 3 optical diffraction spikes nested deep into the host-galaxy. The discovery of these two galaxies by NASA’s Hubble and Chandra X-ray Observatory was serendipitous, and uncalled for, but an amazing discovery. Space Exploration started in the 1900s during the cold war and humans have proved themselves in this field. From launching the first man into space, to discovering stars, constellations, asterisms, and many more beyond the milky way outside our pale blue dot, humanity has continuously proven its ingenuity through feats such as these.
