Galaxy’s center
- Astronomers used Hubble to measure the velocities at which stars and gas swirl around a black hole, to catalog black holes in active and quiescent galaxies. A Hubble census of galaxies showed that supermassive black holes are commonly found in a galaxy’s center.

1 day ago · The mass of a galaxy's supermassive black hole is about one-thousandth the mass of the stars in the tightly grouped collection of stars, or the galactic bulge, of that galaxy. These are regions ...

Feb 15, 2018 · The biggest black holes in the Universe are growing faster than the rate of stars being formed in their galaxies, according to two new studies using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes.
1 day ago · M33 is known to lack a central bulge, and there is no evidence of a supermassive black hole at its core ― strange since most spirals have a central bulge made up of densely concentrated stars and most large galaxies have supermassive black holes at their centers. Galaxies with this type of structure are called “pure disk galaxies,” and ...

Unambiguous dynamical evidence for supermassive black holes exists only for a handful of galaxies; [99] these include the Milky Way, the Local Group galaxies M31 and M32, and a few galaxies beyond the Local Group, such as NGC 4395.
3 days ago · A pair of giant black holes about 3,000 light-years apart in the galaxy NGC 6240, 400 million light-years away. The galaxy's butterfly shape was caused by the collision of two smaller galaxies.
Apr 13, 2022 · Astronomers have identified a rapidly growing black hole in the early universe that is considered a crucial “missing link” between young star-forming galaxies and the first supermassive black holes. They used data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope to make this discovery.
