But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...

"Little red dot" galaxies discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope in the early cosmos appear to be ruled by supermassive black holes that are 1,000 times too massive.

N ASA has released a stunning image of a black hole swallowing a star and causing a massive explosion. Although the cosmic event took place 600 million light-years ago, the burst of radiation has ...

Astronomers have discovered a "missing link": a tiny black hole lurking with a red giant star in a strange and difficult-to-explain binary system.

Broad-band spectra from the XMM–Newton pn camera for orbits 2659 (black), 2661 (red), 2663 (green), and 2664 (blue) plotted as a ratio to that of orbit 2652, illustrating strong soft X-ray ...

According to NASA, supermassive black holes—often found at the heart of galaxies—are astronomical objects with a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape it that are so ...

This suggests that NGC 5084 is host to a supermassive black hole tipped on its side, and scientists think it could be evidence of a galactic collision in NGC 5084’s recent past. Sometimes being ...

D9 is the first star pair ever found near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. This image shows an emission line of hydrogen mapped by the SINFONI instrument ...

Radio waves from this blazar traveled more than 12.9 billion light-years to reach us, which is a new record for this type of cosmic object. The shining behemoth's remarkable age could enable ...

In Pablo’s Galaxy, researchers found its black hole ejecting cold, dark gas at speeds up to 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) per second, blowing it out of the galaxy’s gravitational reach.
