Fast-moving stars zooming through our galaxy might have been slingshotted from a black hole inside the neighbouring Large ...

A Milky Way collision with a supermassive black hole might be closer than we thought. Hidden deep in the Large Magellanic ...

Astronomers have found a supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This black hole is 600,000 times the mass of ...

New details have been discovered about M87*, the first black hole ever photographed, revealing its plasma, its brightness and ...

Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) were first theorized to exist in the late 1980s. In 2005, the first discoveries were confirmed.

Recently, astronomers focused on a galaxy 270 million light years away, which hosts a supermassive black hole known as 1ES 1927+654. The black hole, researchers have now observed, has been ...

Even more surprisingly, the black hole that powers the quasar from which this jet erupts, designated J1601+3102, is relatively small. (For a quasar-powering supermassive black hole, that is.

Does the LMC have a supermassive black hole (SMBH) that's ejecting some HVSs into the Milky Way? Most stars in the Milky Way travel at about 100 km/s, whereas HVSs can travel as quickly as about ...

The first supermassive black hole to be photographed was the one in the center of the Milky Way, known as Sagittarius A*. Astronomers believe that most galaxies harbor a supermassive black hole ...

"Black holes really do sit at the frontier of human understanding." Scientists have discovered that some supermassive black holes rotate much more rapidly than expected. The discovery came as the ...

Rapid X-ray oscillations detected near the innermost orbit of a supermassive black hole could indicate the presence of a nearby orbiter such as a white dwarf ...
