New research reveals that supermassive black holes consume surrounding material faster than previously believed. This insight, derived from high-resolution simulations, could explain why quasars flare…
Massive burst of X-rays detected by University of Leicester astronomers indicates material three times the mass of Earth burning up in a black hole. A…
Black holes are one of the most mysterious and fascinating phenomena in the Universe. Researchers suggest the presence of several black holes in the Hyades…
Scientists, using NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, have identified a black hole in a distant galaxy that appears to be recurrently consuming parts of a…
Astronomers uncover details of a massive star, ASASSN-14li, devoured by a black hole, challenging previous theories and hinting at new methods for cosmic exploration. Researchers…
The James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled images that show, for the first time, starlight from two colossal galaxies with actively growing black holes, known…
For the first time, a global team of scientists has uncovered the magnetic field transport processes in the accretion flow of a black hole, as well…
James Webb Space Telescope survey reveals fewer supermassive black holes than presumed. A University of Kansas survey of a swath of the cosmos using the…
Black holes with exceptionally large masses—over a million times the mass of the Sun, known as supermassive black holes (SMBHs)—are commonly found in the universe…
A giant black hole 290 million light-years away destroyed a large star and threw its pieces into space. NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA’s XMM-Newton…
In 1929, astronomers discovered that galaxies are streaming away from us and each other. They interpreted this observation that the universe is expanding. However, when…
An international team of scientists reports the first detection of a quasi-periodic oscillation signal in the radio band from a Galactic black hole system. An…
Using the VERA network of radio telescopes, astronomers have gained new insights into the growth of young supermassive black holes in Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies….
So far, gravitational waves have been only detected by astrophysicists from binary systems – the fusion of either two black holes, two neutron stars, or…
The Universe is a violent place where here even a star’s life can be cut short. This happens when a star finds itself in a…
New research led by Newcastle University and published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society has revealed that supermassive black holes obscured by…
The James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered the most remote active supermassive black hole known to date, situated in the galaxy CEERS 1019, which existed…
They are called UFOs, but aliens have nothing to do with them. They are the ultra-fast outflows: space winds that emerge from the surroundings of…
