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

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

New data reveals a 3-million-light-year filament connecting two galaxies, each of which hosts a supermassive black hole.

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

"So if we didn’t have a supermassive black hole in our Milky Way galaxy, there might be many more stars in the sky. That’s just one example of how black holes can influence a galaxy’s evolution.

Jets from black holes trigger cooling in the hot gas, causing it to condense into warm filaments. These filaments then flow toward the black hole ... that of the Sun. Supermassive Black Holes ...

Most galaxies contain a supermassive black hole at their centres. These black holes have masses ranging from millions to billions of times that of the sun. The supermassive black hole Sagittarius ...

The Hubble Telescope captured a supermassive black hole creating expanding gas bubbles in the galaxy SDSS J1354+1327, 900 million light-years away. HE0435-1223, seen at the centre of this image, is ...

Using observations from 2017 and 2018, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has advanced our understanding of the supermassive black hole at the center of Messier 87 (M87*). This study ...

(Nanowerk News) Using observations from 2017 and 2018, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has advanced our understanding of the supermassive black hole at the centre of Messier 87 (M87*).

If you want to describe a supermassive black hole’s characteristics, there are two important numbers to use. One is its mass and the other is its spin rate. Some black hole spin rates are ...

Sgr A*, at the heart of the Milky Way and clocking in at 4.3 million solar masses, is the closest supermassive black hole we have access to. It's also on the quiescent end of the activity scale, which ...
