One of my favorite celestial objects in the universe is the black hole. Granted, I'm an astrophysicist. But I know I'm not alone. People love black holes. They seem to hold a near-mythic status in ...

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 ...

By looking at radio waves and X-ray emissions, a team of physicists has found the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* to be spinning— and altering space-time around it.

A strange black hole is making scientists scratch their heads.. The distant object, dubbed "1ES 1927+654" and packing the ...

Astronomers have seen the largest jets ever found erupting from a black hole. The giant jet system Porphyrion is 23 million light-years long, equal to 140 side-by-side Milky Way galaxies.

At the heart of the galaxy M87 is the first supermassive black hole ever imaged by humanity, and now, researchers have remastered that image to see the cosmic titan in greater detail.

Like a scene out of a sci-fi movie, astronomers using NASA telescopes have found "Space Jaws." Lurking 600 million light-years away, within the inky black depths between stars, there is an ...

Astronomers recently used artificial intelligence to fine-tune the first-ever image of a black hole, captured in 2019 by the Event Horizon Telescope. By Dennis Overbye Four years ago, astronomers ...

The investigation of LID-568, however, has just begun. Astronomers want to know how this black hole broke its Eddington limit, which means more viewing with the Webb telescope.
