A new map of all the universe's supermassive black holes paints a terrifying yet beautiful image of the cosmos.
Scientists have created the largest ever supermassive black hole map. The map, which is featured in a paper in The Astrophysical Journal, showcases more than 1.3 million quasars found in space and time. The furthest black hole featured in the map existed when the universe was only 1.5 billion years old, over 12 billion years ago.
The researchers say they were even able to make measurements of how matter clusters together throughout the early universe using the data. And that some of the measurements were as precise as those found in other major survey projects. That’s all really exciting because it means we aren’t just clumping the data together without any idea of how it actually fits together. Of course, mapping all of the supermassive black holes in the universe is no small feat.
