Rare Sighting of Luminous Jet Spewed by Supermassive Black Hole Astronomers discover a bright optical flare caused by a dying star’s encounter with a supermassive…
Astronomers have determined the source of an incredibly bright X-ray, optical, and radio signal appearing from halfway across the Universe. Named AT 2022cmc, the signal…
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center scientists ran 100 sophisticated simulations exploring jets — narrow beams of energetic particles — that emerge at nearly light speed…
Magnetic Fields Help Black Holes Reach Deeper Into Galaxies Black holes potentially have an even larger influence on the galaxies around them than we thought….
Blazars are some of the brightest objects in the cosmos. They are composed of a supermassive black hole feeding off material swirling around it in…
The black hole is over 1 billion light-years away. A team of astronomers has found a unique black hole that is shooting a fiery jet…
Scientists hope to improve their understanding of the growth of supermassive black holes in massive galaxies by studying intermediate-mass black holes. After lurking undetected in…
Gemini North telescope on Hawai‘i reveals the first dormant, stellar-mass black hole in our cosmic backyard. Using the International Gemini Observatory, astronomers have discovered the…
Bizarre quantum properties of black holes – including their mind-bending ability to have different masses simultaneously – have been confirmed by University of Queensland (UQ)…
Gravitational waves identify what could be a rare one-in-1000 event. Astronomers at Cardiff University have identified a strange twisting motion in the orbits of two…
A new study creates the first map of our galaxy’s ancient dead stars. In the first map of the ‘galactic underworld’, a study from the…
A small star was ripped to shreds in October 2018 when it wandered too close to a black hole in a galaxy located 665 million…
Astronomers have spotted signs of a ‘hot spot’ orbiting Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of our galaxy, using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter…
Discovery Sheds Light on Star Death, Black Hole Formation and Gravitational Waves When it comes to field of black hole research, it seems there is…
In a vivid confirmation of theoretical prediction, scientists have discerned a sharp ring of light created by photons whipping around the back of a supermassive…
University of Chicago astronomers propose ‘spectral siren’ method to understand evolution of the universe. A black hole is usually where information goes to disappear. However,…
Researchers use X-ray telescopes and a new data analysis technique to describe space objects. Black holes with varying light signatures that were once thought to…
A stellar-mass black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a neighbor galaxy to our own, has been found by a team of international experts, renowned for…
