Slices of collapsing gas within dark matter halos on three different spacial scales: from 10,0000 to 10 light years across. The colors represent the gas density, from low density (blue color) to much larger density (red color). The gas on the smallest spatial scales is going to form a supermassive black hole.

Often containing more than a billion times the mass than our Sun, supermassive black holes have perplexed humans for decades. But new research by astrophysicist Isaac Shlosman and collaborators will help to understand the physical processes, providing details of how supermassive black holes formed 13 billion years ago...
