In 2009 NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory found a cosmic "ghost." Scientists think it is evidence of a huge eruption produced by a supermassive black hole equal in power to a billion supernovas. The source, HDF 130, is over 10 billion light years away and existed at a time 3 billion years after the Big Bang, when galaxies and black holes were forming at a high rate. The explosion of each super-massive black hole may, according to recent theories, collapse to form a number of new universes.
