Timing is everything as astronomers are making discovers all the time. As of an article posted in March of 2012 - Galaxy J1120+0641, containing the most distant supermassive black hole known to science, is so far away that light from it takes over 13 billion years to reach our planet. This means the light astronomers see from this galaxy is just 740 million years after the Big Bang.
The bright center of a distant galaxy is likely a supermassive black hole. The friction and collision of material spiraling around the black hole generates high temperatures and intense light emissions, making it appear bright from afar. This process is known as "accretion" and is a key feature of active galactic nuclei.
Let me clarify one thing... Basically, ALL galaxies, or almost all of them, have a giant black hole at their center. (If any galaxy does NOT have such a supermasive black hole, then it is likely that it had one in the past, and that it was ejected out of the galaxy.)
A quasar is a very energetic distant object that is powered by a supermassive black hole at its center. The intense radiation emitted from the accretion disk around the black hole can outshine the entire galaxy in which the quasar is located.
The black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, is about 26,000 light-years away from Earth. It is known as Sagittarius A* and has a mass equivalent to about 4 million times that of our sun.
Yes, the M65 galaxy is thought to have a supermassive black hole at its center, like many other large galaxies. This black hole likely plays a crucial role in shaping the galaxy's properties and evolution.
ALL larger galaxies have a black hole in their center.
every galaxy got a black hole in the center even our galaxy, the milky way.
It is now widely accepted that all galaxies have a massive black hole at their centre.
Most galaxies, including our own, have black holes in their centers.
Most galaxies - the larger ones at least - have a supermassive black holes in their center.
No, the sun does not orbit a black hole in the center of our galaxy. The sun orbits around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, where there is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A.
It seems that just about EVERY galaxy has a huge ("supermassive") black hole in its center.
A blazar is an elliptical galaxy with a supermassive black hole at the center.
At the center of every galaxy is a supermassive black hole.
A black hole
Yes.
It is it's center.
