“Supermassive Black Hole Caught in The Act of Switching on”

A recent discovery by a team of astronomers centres on a galaxy cluster called CHIPS 1911+4455, located an incredible 6 billion light-years from Earth.
At its heart lies a supermassive black hole that has only recently ‘turned on’, just a thousand years ago. While that might sound like a long time, it’s merely a blink of an eye in astronomical terms.
Lead researcher Francesco Ubertosi from the University of Bologna describes the phenomenon as watching a sleeping giant wake up.
