Scientists witness a dormant supermassive black hole roar to life

Astronomers believe they may have witnessed a massive black hole wake up and become active in a far-away galaxy. The cosmic event was first spotted in 2019 when a US telescope detected an “unusual brightness” around 300 million light-years away. Data showed the “calm” galaxy in the constellation Virgo had mysteriously started to glow. An international team then tracked this “unprecedented behaviour” and found the galaxy was gradually growing bri…

Astronomers detect the awakening of a black hole for the first time in a distant galaxy.

By Ashley Strickland, CNN (CNN) — Astronomers are witnessing a never-before-seen spectacle in the cosmos: the awakening of a supermassive black hole at the center of a distant galaxy. In late 2019, a team of astronomers took notice of an otherwise unremarkable galaxy named SDSS1335+0728, 300 million light-years away in the Virgo constellation. A sudden spike in the galaxy’s brightness had been automatically detected by the Zwicky Transient Facil…
