One for every flat galaxy and two for every round galaxy.I two million LYs the Milky Way will be round. Bert



Maybe some galaxies have two that have not merged yet.


There is no 'maybe' about it. Here you go...

"Some galaxies, such as the galaxy 4C +37.11, appear to have two supermassive black holes at their centers, forming a binary system. If they collided, the event would create strong gravitational waves.[53] Binary supermassive black holes are believed to be a common consequence of galactic mergers."
