Supermassive Black Holes
A supermassive black hole is an extremely dense and compact region in the center of a galaxy, with a mass millions or even billions of times that of the Sun. These black holes have a significant influence on the surrounding space, stars, and even the evolution of the galaxy itself.
Formation
Supermassive black holes are thought to form through the accumulation of mass from the surrounding area. The exact process of their formation is still a topic of research and debate among scientists.
Characteristics
Supermassive black holes are characterized by their immense mass and gravitational pull. They are often surrounded by an accretion disk of gas and dust, which emits intense radiation as it falls into the black hole. This radiation can make the black hole visible to telescopes and other astronomical instruments.
