Astronomers have discovered an important piece of the puzzle of how supermassive black holes were able to grow so quickly in ...

The black hole is so enormous that it makes up roughly 40% of the total mass of its host galaxy: in comparison, most black holes in the local universe are roughly 0.1% of their host galaxy mass.

An ancient black hole had to take it easy after gorging itself on its local galaxy, offering hints at the exotic objects' ...

This means the consequences of the new discovery are likely to become a building block of any future model of black-hole growth in the early universe: they imply the existence of an abundance of ...
