Astronomers at Penn State have nicknamed the objects “universe breakers,” which may be unusual black hole atmospheres and could represent a missing link in the fast growth of supermassive black holes.

Astronomers use many methods to determine this number, including gravitational lensing, the universe’s expansion rate, and more.
