“Third, as an unexpected bonus, it turns out that both galaxy nuclei also have an active supermassive black hole. So, this ...

Discoveries keep pouring out of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Researchers observed an unusual cluster, which they ...

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding supermassive black hole.

Yale astronomer Pieter van Dokkum and a team of researchers have discovered an object in space they call the "Infinity" ...

"The biggest surprise of all was that the black hole was not located inside either of the two nuclei but in the middle. We asked ourselves: How can we make sense of this?" ...

An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as gravitational waves.

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding supermassive black hole.

Astronomers have witnessed a distant supermassive black hole devouring its surrounding matter so rapidly that it is "burping" out excess mass at nearly a third of the speed of light.

Chandra X-ray Observatory and X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) imagery of the Milky Way's core and supermassive black hole ...

Unlike formed supermassive black holes surrounded by bright accretion disks, these pre-black hole objects would be relatively metal-free, representing truly primordial conditions.

Astronomers using JWST and other telescopes found a supermassive black hole floating between two colliding galaxies — not in either galaxy center, but embedded in shocked gas. Why it matters: If ...
