It’s the largest black hole jet we’ve discovered to date. What makes this particular jet so exciting for astronomers is not only its size. It’s also estimated to be 1.2 billion years old.

When a black hole and a neutron star finally meet, the result is cosmic carnage—and now, thanks to Caltech’s latest supercomputer simulations, we’re getting a front-row seat to the whole ...

Astronomers have discovered a massive black hole jet that is three times bigger than the Milky Way. The jet is known as Quasar J1601+3102, and it was first spotted by astronomers using the Low ...

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption ...

A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen object called a black hole pulsar.

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has detected powerful black hole jets emanating from a galaxy 11.6 billion light-years away. These jets, formed durin ...

The Black Hole is an Admin Weather Event, meaning a Weather Event that can only be activated by an administrator of the game. These events don’t have any other triggers, and they are activated ...

In response, the black hole slowly drains the life out of the star, creating a bright, energy surge unlike anything we’ve ever observed before. “We’ve observed stars getting ripped apart as tidal ...

The Star and the Black Hole The team at the University of Hawai'i knew the phenomena they were observing weren't supernovae and were curious as to what they were looking at and how these events ...

In 2022, they presented an image of the black hole in our Milky Way, Sagittarius A*. However, the data behind the images still contained a wealth of hard-to-crack information.

The universe may not have begun with the Big Bang as is generally thought but from the collapse of a massive black hole, a new theory suggests. Current observations of our universe appear to ...
