research The Demography of Supermassive Black Holes Roeland van der Marel S upermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies are some of the most enigmatic objects in the universe. ... The Hubble Space Telescope has revolutionized our knowledge of these supermassive black holes. ... Earlier reports were confirmed that supermassive black holes may well exist in all galaxies, and that the black hole mass correlates loosely with the mass of the galaxy bulge. ... Later, two more rings were discovered. ...

In 1974 astronomers discovered a bright radio source at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius. It was an unknown quantity then, but astronomers now know that the object is a supermassive black hole causing a maelstrom of activity at the galactic center. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...
