Astronomers find hundreds of 'hidden' black holes — and there may be billions or even trillions more
Black holes that have been obscured by clouds of dust still emit infrared light, enabling astronomers to spot them for the very first time.
Black holes could be devoured by billions of 'hidden' matter, astronomers say
Astronomers have managed to locate hundreds of tricky to spot black holes lurking in space using infrared light - and have suggested there could be billions more in the universe
Astronomers capture unprecedented view of supermassive black hole in action
Active galactic nuclei are supermassive black holes at the center of certain galaxies. As matter falls into these black holes, enormous amounts of energy are released, making active galactic nuclei, or AGN,
NASA Astronomers Zero In on the Number of Hidden Supermassive Black Holes
Researchers found far more hidden black holes than previously known, indicating plenty of behemoths lurking in thick clouds of gas and dust.
U of A researchers capture sharpest images yet of a supermassive black hole

Galaxy growth halted by supermassive black holes
Galaxy clusters are home to many giant elliptical galaxies that have completed their growth and are not forming stars. However, it is still unclear what shutdowns star formation. The answer now seems to be supermassive black holes, which slow star formation and help to transition the star formations into galaxies.
Infrared telescopes discover hundreds of previously undetected supermassive black holes
Using IRAS and NuSTAR telescopes, scientists identify hundreds of obscured black holes hidden behind gas and dust.
