Astronomers watch monster black hole spit out a light-year-long jet
Astronomers are very familiar with the twin jets launched from the poles of supermassive black holes. These structures can stretch for distances as great as 23 million light-years, extending way above and below the plane of the galaxy from which they erupt.
Astronomers find hundreds of 'hidden' black holes — and there may be billions or even trillions more
Black holes that have been obscured by clouds of dust still emit infrared light, enabling astronomers to spot them for the very first time
Astronomers warn of billions of black holes consuming ‘hidden’ matter
Astronomers have warned that billions of black holes are consuming "hidden" matter in the universe. Experts identified these black holes by observing through clouds of dust and gas. This discovery could help astronomers refine their theories on galaxy evolution.
