Supermassive black holes (SMBH) are typically found at the centers of large galaxies and can become incredibly luminous when actively consuming material.
However, some quasars, which are the bright manifestations of these black holes, are currently obscured by dense clouds of dust.
This phenomenon, described as a 'blow-out' phase, highlights the complex interactions between black holes and their surrounding environments.
