"Unveiling the Largest 3D Map of 1.3 Million Active Supermassive Black Holes in the Universe"

Scientists have revealed a 3D map of supermassive black holes, comprising 1.3 million quasars, the largest volume of the universe ever charted. The map, called Quaia, provides a catalog of quasars based on data from the Gaia space telescope and other sources, offering insights into the evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. This groundbreaking map also presents an opportunity to study dark matter and its influence on the distribution of regular matter across the universe.
