New research can help us understand how supermassive black holes formed – and why many of them appear to be more massive than expected.
These small galaxies are either crammed with stars or they host gigantic black holes. The data astronomers have collected continues to puzzle them.
Research casts doubt on theories predicting that light black holes formed immediately after the Big Bang.
X-rays emitted around black holes can tell astrophysicists about how fast they’re growing.
