Scientists Find Supermassive Black Holes Smaller Than Expected

Scientists from the University of Southampton discovered that supermassive black holes are significantly smaller than previously believed, with one observed being 10 times less massive than expected. This finding, published in Astronomy and Astrophysics, suggests that the traditional methods of estimating black hole mass may overestimate their size, resolving long-standing questions about their rapid growth in early galaxies.
