Recent evidence suggests that every significant galaxy in the universe has a supermassive black hole at its center, confirmed by Hubble Space Telescope observations. These black holes are vastly more massive than typical stellar black holes, ranging from millions to billions of solar masses. Current research is exploring the minimum size of galaxies capable of hosting such massive black holes. Observations of rare high-speed stars in our Milky Way, and the Large Magellanic Cloud's uncertain status regarding a central black hole, serve as focal points for further inquiries.
There is still a mysterious question looming over the scientific community regarding the minimum size of a galaxy that can host a supermassive black hole.
The formation and rapid growth of supermassive black holes in early galaxies remains an area of intense study, contributing to our understanding of cosmic evolution.
