• Resumen

  • Mann reports that a supermassive black hole has been spotted snacking twice. He adds that, this has been the first time astronomers have caught one doing this, and the sightings could help to better understand odd cosmic objects called active galactic nuclei. AGNs occur when an enormous black hole--often with the mass of a billion suns--forms in the centre of a galaxy.
