A new census reveals that 35% of supermassive black holes are hidden behind dust, disrupting major galactic models.

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption event.

These explosions, called extreme nuclear transients, shine for longer than typical supernovas and get 30 to 1,000 times as bright.

Findings could imply that the Big Bang would no longer be an isolated event and suggest that every black hole in our universe ...

A black hole is more than just a region of space where nothing escapes. It can also become a powerful cosmic engine.
