However, researchers have performed the most accurate simulations of a range of collision scenarios and have found that some collisions can reduce the activity of their central black holes. The reason is that certain head-on collisions may in fact clear the galactic nuclei of the matter which would otherwise fuel the black holes contained within.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-01-galaxies-collide-galactic-collisions-starve.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">When galaxies collide: Models suggest galactic collisions can starve massive black holes<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was previously thought that collisions between galaxies would necessarily add to the activity of the massive black holes at their centers.
