Immaculate Black Holes Discovered

By Stars & Astronomy On March 19th, 2010

Newly found supermassive black holes may lift the veil on how stars and galaxies form.

Black Holes, which belong to a special group known as quasars, are what astronomers are calling the first quasers unobscured by dust clouds ever found.

Quasars are thousands to millions of times more massive than stellar black holes, which are created when huge stars die. (See black hole pictures.) Quasars emit enormous amounts of light, making them detectable even from the very edge of the observable universe. Because it takes billions of years for light to reach us from the edge of the visible universe, the data we receive from these regions allows scientists to look back in time.
