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

The team also found that the supermassive black hole, which is located around 12.9 billion light-years away from Earth, is rapidly feasting on the gas and dust around it. In other words, it's growing.

Analyzing images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a group of astronomers led by Dr. Lukas Furtak and Prof. Adi Zitrin from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has detected an extremely ...

"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.

An “extremely red” supermassive black hole in the early universe has been detected by astronomers from Ben Gurion University of the Negev, after analyzing images from the James Webb Space Telescope ...

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 ...

Simulation of the supermassive black hole binary system PG 1302-102. The smaller shines more brightly because it's farther from the center of mass and thus closer to the outer disk of gas.

Supermassive black hole found only half a billion years after Big Bang There just isn't time for something that big to grow from a supernova remnant. John Timmer – Nov 6, 2023 5:45 pm | 132 ...

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.

From there, black holes might evolve into quasars, extremely luminous objects found in the early universe. The discovery of this ancient black hole, nicknamed GNz7q by researchers, seems to ...

But a 15-year analysis through Japanese radio astronomy project VERA found that the Earth is actually only 25,800 light years away. They also found that Earth is moving 7 km/s faster than they ...

Supermassive black hole found hiding in ring of cosmic dust. The discovery could help astronomers understand more about active galactic nuclei which are found at the centre of galaxies and have a ...
