MUAR, May 3 —  A young scientist has succeeded in proving the existence of a supermassive black hole hidden cosmic circle. Nur Adlyka Ainul Annuar, 27, an Astrophysics PhD student at the Extra galactic Astronomy Centre, Physics Department of Durham University, United Kingdom (UK)  became interested in astronomy and astrophysics at 13, after watching  Armageddon and Apollo 13.

She  had presented her team’s discovery in a workingpaper entitled, Black Holes, Green Galaxies, Old Stars and NuSTAR during the 229th Meeting of American Astronomical Society early this year.
