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

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

A U.S. gravitational wave detector spotted a collision between fast-spinning “forbidden” black holes that challenge physics ...

First images of Milky Way’s black hole released 02:13. The iconic 2019 image of a supermassive black hole that has since been dubbed the "orange donut" has gotten a makeover.

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

One of the most perplexing discoveries in modern astronomy has been finding supermassive black holes, some weighing billions of times more than our sun, in galaxies that formed less than 750 million ...

Black holes are remarkable astronomical objects with gravity so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape them. The most gigantic ones, known as "supermassive" black holes, can weigh millions to ...

A supermassive black hole around a million times the mass of the Sun just gave away its position in spectacular fashion.. When a passing star veered a little too close, it was torn apart in the ...

Mergers made notable secondary contributions, especially over the past 5 billion years of cosmic time for the most-massive black holes. Overall, supermassive black holes of all masses grew much ...

Black holes are one of the most mysterious cosmological phenomena out there. Astrophysicist Priya Natarajan calls them "the point where all known laws of physics break down."On the list of ...

Scientists have discovered a supermassive black hole that appears to be "waking up" after being inactive for decades. The black hole at the heart of SDSS1335+0728—a distant galaxy 300 million ...

An illustration of the gaseous wind "bullets" firing out of the supermassive black hole PDS 456. Audard et al. / Nature. In their study, the researchers used XRISM to observe the gas outflows from ...
