that it would spin on an axis changed thought about the universe. Of course astronomy has been around for quite some time. Yet, early astronomers did not have the equipment
or the scientific background to understand the underpinnings of the universe. Today, things are different and scientists have the equipment to explore stars and planets that cannot be seen with
the human eye. Many things have come out of new scientific thought that had emerged with the advent of the twentieth century. One such enigma was, and continues to
be, the concept of the supermassive black hole. First, what is a black hole? A black hole is an object that has a gravitational force so strong as to be
able to pull everything into it that is found within a certain distance from the hole (Colombo, 1998). Of course, that distance is quite important in determining whether or not
something is vulnerable. Cowen (2005) explains that a supermassive black hole is only able to absorb matter that is located less than a light-year from where it sits. Thus, many
stars may exist perhaps 20,000 light-years from the center of the universe and are not affected by such a black holes pull (Cowen, 2005). Black holes are thought to have
originated from the collapse of very large stars, but it is also hypothesized that mini black holes could in fact have been formed shortly after the Big Bang (Colombo, 1998).
Other authors corroborate this point. There appears to be two theories to explain how supermassive black holes are formed. One is that a supermassive star collapses (Shapiro & Teukolsky,
1983). The second possibility is that there is a primordial black hole formed in the early universe (Shapiro & Teukolsky, 1983). It is believed that supermassive black holes exist at
