Gaia, Theia, and a starving black hole: this week in space

This image from the MUSE instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope shows the active galaxy Markarian 1018, which has a supermassive black hole at its core. The faint loops of light around the galaxy are a result of its interaction and merger with another galaxy in the recent past.
Gaia maps the galaxy, while a binary supermassive black hole fades away: this week in space.
