It’s plausible that more than idea is correct. our universe's most mysterious objects: black holes. Yet another, is that a cluster of stellar black holes form and eventually merge into a supermassive black hole. An image of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, a behemoth dubbed Sagittarius A, was revealed by the Event Horizon Telescope on May 12, 2022. Another idea is that a stellar black hole consumes enormous amounts of material over millions of years, growing to supermassive black hole proportions. As of 2022, there are over 150 confirmed. Stellar black holes result from the collapse of massive stars, and some have suggested that supermassive black holes form out of the collapse of massive clouds of gas during the early stages of the formation of the galaxy. Supermassive black holes contain between one hundred thousand and ten billion times more mass than our Sun. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a. While many ideas abound, astronomers are still not sure how these supermassive black holes form. Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. With Spitzers dust-piercing infrared eyes, astronomers. The high orbital velocities of these stars and gas are easily explained if they are being accelerated by a massive object with a strong gravitational field that is contained within a small region of space – i.e., a supermassive black hole. The munching supermassive black hole at the galaxys core is called a quasar, which is one type of AGNs. More recently, direct evidence for the existence of supermassive black holes has come from observations of material, at the centres of galaxies, rapidly orbiting unseen mass. The only mechanism capable of producing such enormous amounts of energy is the conversion of gravitational energy into light by a massive black hole. For the first time, astronomers have captured an image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, confirming the presence of the cosmic object. Observations of the energy output and variability timescales of quasars revealed that they radiate over a trillion times as much energy as our Sun from a region about the size of the Solar System.

From these observations, astronomers have inferred that a supermassive black hole of about four million solar masses lurks at the centre of our Galaxy.
