So, a black hole that is quiet today may have once been a quasar, and the quasars we see in the distant past will eventually “turn off” after they’ve eaten everything around them. Alison Klesman ...

Daniel Holz, a theorist at the University of Chicago who studies black holes, said: “Priya has found an extremely exciting black hole, if true.” He added, “It is simply too big too early.

The flares are common in supermassive black holes and have been seen before, says Farhad Yusef-Zadeh, a professor of physics and astronomy at Northwestern University who led the study.
