The dependence of star formation and, thus, galaxy growth on dense molecular gas can then be compared with the masses of supermassive black holes. "This could be done using the ALMA (Atacama Large ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has found evidence of a "wandering" black hole about 5000 light years away in the Milky Way galaxy ...

Now, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have observed a black hole in the act of devouring a star, ripping it apart and creating a huge burst of radiation.

Astronomers studying a distant galaxy cluster stumbled upon ancient radio signals that might hold clues to the formation of ...

Galaxies shine in a rainbow of emissions from gas, dust, and stars. Each of these building blocks emits light at specific ...

A star met a violent end in a galaxy far, far away — about 600 million light-years from Earth. It wandered too close to a black hole and was ripped apart in a bright burst of light. That much ...

Hubble Space Telescope snapped an image of UGC 11397, a spiral galaxy situated in the constellation Lyra, about 250 million ...

It's home to a monster black hole The Large Magellanic Cloud, a close neighbor to the Milky Way, may house a giant black hole. It's the closest supermassive black hole outside of our galaxy. Space ...

The Andromeda galaxy is also known as Messier 31. It is a spiral galaxy located about 2.5 million light-years from Earth. On ...

NASA finds supermassive black hole called ‘Space Jaws:’ Why it deserves sci-fi horror name A sneaky black hole was the source of a tidal disruption event that was so large and so bright that ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope spotted a supermassive black hole in an unexpected place, 2,600 light-years from the galaxy's core.

First up is WR 124, a type of star called a Wolf-Rayet which is a potential precursor to a black hole. As these old, massive stars come to the end of their lives, they start throwing off layers of ...
