Quick Look: NASA's Chandra Identifies an Underachieving Black Hole (03-21-2024)
A brilliant supermassive black hole is not living up to expectations. Although responsible for high levels of radiation and powerful jets, this giant black hole is not as influential as many of its counterparts in other galaxies.
