New research suggests the Milky Way may be host to multiple ‘wandering’ supermassive black holes
Astronomers have long since concluded that the active galactic nuclei of most galaxies such as our own Milky Way play host to supermassive black holes of masses in excess of millions of times that of the Sun. Now new research implies that our own galaxy may well also contain up to as many as twelve ‘wandering’ supermassive black holes in addition to the central SMBH.
