When scientists discovered an enormous black hole thousands of light-years from where it ought to be in space, they knew they ...

LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detects two black hole mergers with rare spin patterns, offering evidence for hierarchical formation and ...

Gravitational wave detectors on Earth have heard the "cry" of two newborn black holes with some unusual and remarkable ...

Observations by a system of radio telescopes have offered the first visual evidence for the existence of black hole pairs. But vital follow-up observations are needed before we know for sure.

The team examined an ancient quasar which they described as “a galaxy with a black hole so old and bright it looks like a cosmic beacon from the dawn of time”. Their study showed that the quasar had a ...

Astronomers have spotted an apparent supermassive black hole snacking on a star 600 million light-years away, wandering through a galaxy with an even larger black hole at its core. The event, dubbed ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers discovered an extreme version of "little red dots" dubbed "The Cliff." Its light suggests that it could be a never-before-seen class of objects called ...

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

The strong gravity of the black hole (shown as a small black dot at the center of the disk on the right) pulls gas from the companion star (left). As the gas spirals inward, it forms a ...

Georgia Tech astrophysicists have provided an important test of a long-standing theory that describes the extreme physics occurring when matter spirals into massive objects known as black holes. Here, ...

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 ...

"We would like to understand the difference between these systems, which holds the clue to understand just how many cosmic rays are produced in the jets of microquasars." When you purchase through ...
