UTSA grad student Nathaniel Lujan recently made a breakthrough discovery suggesting that Segue 1, a dwarf galaxy ~75,000 light-years from the Milky Way, may not contain high levels of dark matter as scientists have believed. Instead, it's home to a supermassive black hole nearly half a million times the mass of the Sun. This new understanding suggests that supermassive black holes are either more common than previously believed or that Segue 1 is the stripped-down core of a much older, more massive galaxy. Learn about Lujan's groundbreaking discovery on UTSA Today: utsa.edu/today. #UTSA @UTSASciences @UTSAResearch @UTAustin @UTSystem
