An out-of-space experience! That is what Thursday’s event at ARTos House in Nicosia will be, with visitors learning ...
The passing gravitational waves “stretch or contract the universe by around 20 meters [about 65 feet] or so,” says Matthew ...
Ancient quasars seen by the James Webb Space Telescope technically shouldn’t exist, but one rare type of dark matter could ...
The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged a "200,000 light-year-long trail of newborn stars" that may have been left behind by a ...
New details have been discovered about M87*, the first black hole ever photographed, revealing its plasma, its brightness and ...

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.
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 ...
Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) were first theorized to exist in the late 1980s. In 2005, the first discoveries were confirmed.
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 ...
A recent study has uncovered a possible explanation for the rapid formation of supermassive black holes in the early universe. By proposing a new physics model, researchers suggest that dark ...
