This galaxy with an active galactic nucleus is seen in this image combining data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the European Southern Observatory. It contains an example of a supermassive black hole hidden by gas and dust. Researchers analyzed NuSTAR data from this object and compared them with previous observations from our Chandra X-Ray Observatory and the Japanese-led Suzaku satellite. The findings from NuSTAR, which is more sensitive to higher energy X-rays than these observatories, confirm the nature the galaxy as an active galactic nucleus that is heavily obscured, and intrinsically much brighter than observed.
