Galaxies colliding all over the place
Two new discoveries using the Gemini North and Keck telescopes on Mauna Kea. I'll keep this short as I'm a bit tired. Gemini observed two galaxies colliding and then shared a "bridge" of star formation between them.

The other, reported by Keck, is about two supermassive black holes that are about to collide, again, due to another galaxy collision.

KHON2 also picked up on the latter discovery:
