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.

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 … The post The largest black hole jet ever ...

NASA 's Chandra X-ray Observatory has detected one of the most powerful black hole jets ever observed. The jets were emanating from a galaxy 11.6 billion light-years away from the earth. This jet ...

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 ...

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 ...

Yoonsoo Kim et al, Black Hole Pulsars and Monster Shocks as Outcomes of Black Hole–Neutron Star Mergers, The Astrophysical Journal Letters (2025). DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/adbff9 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

In a major breakthrough, scientists have simulated in unprecedented detail how a neutron star cracks just seconds before being swallowed by a black hole. The simulation, led by Caltech ...

Most galaxies around the size of the Milky Way or larger have a supermassive black hole skulking in their center. Each of these black holes can be millions or even billions of times more massive ...

A team of astronomers led by Michael Janssen (Radboud University, The Netherlands) has trained a neural network with millions of synthetic black hole data sets. Based on the network and data from ...
