At the center of most large galaxies sits a supermassive black hole (SMBH). When these black holes are actively consuming material, they become incredibly luminous quasars. But some quasars appear wrapped in thick clouds of dust, making them hard to detect. In a new study, astronomers have revealed 77 new, hidden, "heavily reddened" quasars (HRQs).
