It’s the largest black hole jet we’ve discovered to date. What makes this particular jet so exciting for astronomers is not only its size. It’s also estimated to be 1.2 billion years old.

The three examples the team highlighted in a new study describe supermassive black holes feasting on stars more than three times as massive as our own sun.The events, dubbed “extreme nuclear ...

Black holes are hard to image because they swallow anything that comes close to them, even light, due to their immensely powerful gravity. However, that doesn't mean they are invisible.

Black holes are the compact remains of exploded stars which are so dense that its gravity stops anything, even light, from escaping its singularity. It comes as another LFBot was observed from a ...

A black hole bomb – an idea first proposed in 1969 – has now been realised in the lab as a toy model made from a rotating cylinder and magnetic coils. Studying the bomb could help us better ...
