Black holes are bad news for tiny galaxies
While astronomers have only recently been able to spot a black hole directly, there's a lot that scientists think they know about them. For starters, it's believed that they exist in the hearts of most large galaxies including our own, and their incredible pull can literally tear apart just about anything, including stars.
So, if black holes are common in larger galaxies, a black hole situated at the center of a smaller dwarf galaxy should be no big deal, right? A new research paper suggests that dwarf galaxies, which are plentiful in the universe, can have their growth stunted by black holes that reside inside of them.
