Often seen as destructive, supermassive black holes could help sustain life under specific conditions, scientists have found.

"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.

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.

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 ...

A distant supermassive black hole has stunned astronomers by expelling matter at speeds nearing a third of light velocity after consuming material at an extreme rate. Designated PG1211+143, this ...

Scientists Found First Triple Black Hole System Typically, black holes to emit X-rays perpendicular to the galactic plane. But it’s extremely unusual to find them within the plane itself.

The newly discovered "blazar," which has a mass equal to 700 million suns, is the oldest of its kind ever seen and changes what we know about the early universe.

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.

In this way, so too could our universe simply be within a black hole in some larger, uh, universe, thereby challenging the word “universe” and introducing the whole multiverse concept.

Supermassive Black Hole Pair Found Just 300 Light-Years Apart, The Smallest Ever Separation The finding offers insight into the most crucial stage of galactic mergers. Stephen Luntz.

Many, if not most, galaxies have a supermassive black hole at their core, including the Milky Way. Our galaxy's supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, has about 4.3 million times the mass of our ...
