At the center of most large galaxies, including our Milky Way, sits a supermassive black hole. These powerful objects sometimes enter active galactic nucleus (AGN) mode, where they pull in gas and ...

"When a black hole at the center of a galaxy starts feeding, it unleashes a tremendous amount of energy into its surroundings, transforming into what we call an active galactic nucleus," says Pucha.
