Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered a black hole that actually contribued to star formation, rather than demolishing them, in a dwarf galaxy 30 million light-years from Earth.

New James Webb Space Telescope observations reveal that the galaxy GS-9209 had its star-forming power abruptly "quenched" by mysterious forces after millions of years of productivity.

The dependence of star formation and, thus, galaxy growth on dense molecular gas can then be compared with the masses of supermassive black holes. "This could be done using the ALMA (Atacama Large ...

Now, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have observed a black hole in the act of devouring a star, ripping it apart and creating a huge burst of radiation.

Five million years ago, when humanity's ancestors were just learning to walk upright, a star was ejected from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, at ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has found evidence of a "wandering" black hole about 5000 light years away in the Milky Way galaxy ...

Since a black hole warps the surrounding space, it bends and amplifies the light of any star in its background. Hubble's precise recordings helped researchers measure how the light from a ...

This “death star” galaxy was discovered through the combined efforts of both space and ground-based telescopes. NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, Hubble Space Telescope, and Spitzer Space ...

A wobbling star helped scientists spot the largest stellar black hole ever detected in our galaxy "lurking nearby" in what has been described as a once-in-a-lifetime find.

How Black Holes Kill Galaxies. Season 5 Episode 24 | 11m 20s Video has Closed Captions | CC. It turns out black holes may be responsible for ending star formation across the galaxy.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope recorded a star's final moments in detail as it was eaten by a black hole. The agency said the process twisted the star into a donut-like shape in the process. When a ...

In this theory, the Milky Way's supermassive black hole disturbs a pair of stars, jettisoning one into space and capturing another in a tight orbit -- like that seen in S4711.
