Twin orbs of superhot plasma at the Milky Way's center known as the "Fermi bubbles" contain inexplicable clouds of cold ...

NASA’s James Webb Telescope captures the "Cosmic Owl," a rare galactic formation resembling an owl’s face. See stunning images.

What happens when two rare ring galaxies collide? They form an infinity symbol—or the face of a cosmic owl, depending on how ...

Argentinian astronomers have employed the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) to perform high-resolution radio ...

This stunning image dubbed 'Cosmic Owl' captures a remarkable moment in deep space, billions of light years away.

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

Almost every galaxy has a black hole at its center. The black hole’s immense gravitational pull attracts and consumes surrounding matter and gas. Over time, as they accumulate enough material, they ...

At the center of most large galaxies, including the Milky Way, resides a supermassive black hole. Periodically, this cosmic entity accumulates interstellar gas, switching into an active galactic ...

The galaxy has a distance of 47 million light-years and is one of the nearest galaxies with an active galactic nucleus. Image Credit: European Southern Observatory Supermassive black holes at the core ...

Astronomers think it is most likely an active galactic nucleus (AGN), which gets its energy from supermassive black holes at the galaxy's center and/or from the black hole's spin.
