Galaxy's Supermassive Black Hole Oscillations #Shorts

Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]Did you know that supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies can oscillate? These oscillations are triggered by the gravitational pull of surrounding matter, such as stars and gas. The oscillations can be so strong that they affect the entire galaxy, influencing the formation of new stars and the distribution [music] of gas and dust.

[00:00:19]For instance, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way >> [music] >> has a mass of approximately 4 million times that of our sun.

[00:00:28]As we continue to study these supermassive black holes, we are left wondering, what would happen if the oscillations of a supermassive black hole were to suddenly increase [music] in intensity?

[00:00:39]And how would it impact the surrounding galaxy?
