Hidden Supermassive Black Holes Found Behind Gas and Dust Across the Universe
Supermassive black holes, which feed on surrounding material, may be more common than earlier believed. Researchers suggest that nearly 30%-50% of these black holes could be concealed behind dense gas and dust, making them invisible to standard telescopes. The study, based on infrared observations, sheds light on how these entities influence star f...
