See 25,000 Supermassive Black Holes in One Map of the Sky – Freethink
Astronomers used supercomputers and an international network of antennas to create a map of 25,000 supermassive black holes.
At the center of almost every galaxy is a gigantic black hole a place where gravity is so strong, not even light can escape its pull.
Because black holes don’t emit any light, we can’t see them, but we can detect their presence by measuring radio signals emitted by the matter they eject.
Now, an international team of astronomers has used those signals with the help of supercomputers and an international telescope array to create a map of 25,000 of these supermassive black holes.
