Supermassive black holes have been found at the center of almost every galaxy, sucking up anything unlucky to fall into its maw — including light itself — through unfathomable gravitational forces.

The knowledge that the galaxies in this Universe have black holes at their centers came to us gradually, like all things that have to do with space, starting in the 1970s. In the time that has passed ...
