Galaxies and the Universe
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are extremely bright regions found at the centers of some galaxies, powered by supermassive black holes that are actively accreting material. These regions can outshine entire galaxies due to the tremendous energy produced as matter falls into the black hole, often resulting in various forms of radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum. The presence of AGN indicates dynamic processes related to black hole growth, galaxy evolution, and interactions with surrounding matter.
congrats on reading the definition of Active Galactic Nuclei. now let's actually learn it.
