A block hole orbiting another black hole is extremely interesting but not too surprising. The smaller one will eventually merge with the bigger one. This is probably just one of the ways in which SMB’s are formed.
The documentary “monster of the milky way” makes me hypothesize that probably spiral galaxies are made from spherical galaxies because of the super massive black hole in their center.
What formed first, the spherical galaxy of the black hole in the centre, is a seperate topic.
But as explained in the program, the galaxies would start as normal spherical ones and the black holes jets would create these huge voids in two opposite directions due to there sterilization effect on normal gas and matter.
These voids would create a gravitational imbalance in the structure of the spherical galaxy forcing it to collapse into a spiral disc shaped one, with the jets perpendicular to the plane of the spiral galaxies disc.

I’ve read that the matter is changed into energy and released as x-rays, microwaves, gamma rays, and so forth, making them actually “gray”.

Heh.. that’s a good question. Nobody knows, but some folks say black holes are wormholes between universes. I guess we’ll never know the truth..

Wow! 18 billion times a Sun!!
Its always exciting to know how gigantic the universe is … it’s beyond imagination really. And then how small are we human beings compared to it … vanishes all the egoistic thoughts suddenly
