SYFY WIRE active galaxies Are supermassive black holes killing their host galaxies? Fast and furious winds from black holes suppress star birth. By Phil Plait 12 months ago For the first time, three supernovae are seen at the same time in a single galaxy! The spiral galaxy NGC 5605 is popping off exploding stars.
