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

By combining data from the Subaru Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope, researchers have discovered distant quasars that are obscured by dust but which may shed light on Little Red Dots.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) stunned the world in 2019 with the first image of a black hole, found in the M87 galaxy. Then in 2022, it released a new image of Sagittarius A*, our galaxy's ...

The team has found that while the "victim star" of this black hole orbits it in just 6.5 Earth days, the newly uncovered third star in the system orbits the greedy cosmic titan so far away it only ...
