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

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding supermassive black hole.

"Theories involving substantial formation of stars prior to or together with the black hole formation and growth are very ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), launched in 2022, continues to reshape how we view the cosmos. Designed to look deeper into space and further back in time than any previous instrument, it has ...

Could our galaxy actually be inside a black hole? New research seems to suggest this possibility. NASA's James Webb Telescope discovered that the rotation of the galaxies goes against what scientists ...

Astronomers have discovered extraordinarily powerful X-ray jets blasting from two supermassive black holes that are so ancient that the jets shine in the afterglow of the Big Bang.

According to a provocative new study, that might just be our cosmic address. This idea is meant to solve one of the biggest ...

These black holes are the most distant and stable objects we know. Using a technique called very long baseline interferometry ...

Astronomers have discovered a black hole emitting energy in jets longer than the width of 140 Milky Way galaxies.
