Over One-Third Of Supermassive Black Holes Are Hiding – Maybe Even More
At the center of almost every galaxy, there is a supermassive black hole. Well, astronomers think it’s every galaxy, but it is a difficult claim to confirm. Not because there might be many exceptions – the difficulty lies in the fact that many black holes are so well hidden that we wouldn’t know they are there.
There might be far more supermassive black holes hiding around us than we thought, scientists warn
