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.
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,
