Feeding supermassive black holes may have ended the cosmic 'dark ages' billions of years ago
"Finding more supermassive black holes that are potentially hosting jets raises the question as to how these black holes grew so big in such a short timescale."
This Supermassive Black Hole May Harbor a Bizarre Star That Refuses to Die
Strange x-ray pulses hint at a surprisingly long-lived white dwarf orbiting precariously close to a supermassive black hole
Astronomers capture unprecedented view of supermassive black hole in action
Active galactic nuclei are supermassive black holes at the center of certain galaxies. As matter falls into these black holes, enormous amounts of energy are released, making active galactic nuclei, or AGN,
Mysterious flashing seen near supermassive black hole. Astronomers have an idea what it is
A black hole infamous for strange features has once again baffled astronomers, this time with rapid X-ray flashes. What could they be?

A strange black hole is making scientists scratch their heads.
New research suggests more supermassive black holes than we ever knew
Most picture the night sky as an endless sea of twinkling stars. But if your eyes could see the universe in X-rays, you’d spot thousands upon thousands of bright points representing giant black holes feeding on gas and dust.
Astronomers Discover ‘Swarm’ of Black Holes Whipping Around the Milky Way Galaxy
Black holes are some of the universe's greatest mysteries, incredibly dense and sometimes massive void that suck in anything and everything that passes their event horizons. Now a relatively nearby star cluster known as Palomar 5,
Scientists have just realised the universe has more supermassive black holes than anyone believed
According to scientists, there could be more black holes in the universe than previously thought. Researchers reckon astronomers could be missing between 30 per cent and 50 per cent of the feeding supermassive black holes,
Revolutionary Telescope Captures Sharpest View Ever of a Supermassive Black Hole in Action
Astronomers have captured the most detailed infrared images yet of an active galactic nucleus (AGN), using the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer. This breakthrough enables unprecedented insight into the energetic phenomena surrounding supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies,
