The Magellanic Clouds consist of two satellite galaxies orbiting our Milky Way at a distance of approximately 160,000 light-years. Their gradual approach toward our galaxy suggests an eventual merger that could dramatically reshape our cosmic neighborhood. Scientists are particularly concerned about the fate of this newly discovered black hole during such a collision event.

Detecting black holes presents unique challenges as they emit no light themselves. Traditional methods involve observing light created when black holes actively consume matter or studying unusual orbital patterns of nearby stars. This approach helped confirm the existence of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, back in 1974. Similar scientific detection methods have revealed other mysterious entities in different cosmic regions
