Astronomers have discovered a “wandering” black hole in the outer regions of a galaxy about 4.5 billion light-years from Earth. Evidence suggests this newly discovered…
Using data from XMM-Newton and NuSTAR, astronomers have proved the existence of a “gravitational vortex” around a black hole. This new discovery, aided by NASA’s…
Using the XMM-Newton X-ray observatory, a team of astronomers has discovered a vast cloud of high-energy particles around a rare ultra-magnetic neutron star for the…
Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory, astronomers show that solar storms trigger Jupiter’s intense ‘Northern Lights’ by generating a new X-ray aurora that is…
ESA’s XMM-Newton reveals that winds around a supermassive black hole located 800 million light-years from Earth are moving at 23,000–33,000 km/s, about 10% the speed…
Astronomers hope that by studying the properties of galaxy clusters at different stages in the history of the Universe they can shed light on the…
Using three X-ray telescopes, astronomers have witnessed stellar debris being blown away after a black hole destroyed the star. This event, dubbed ASASSN-14li, is located…
The Milky Way’s supermassive black hole has revealed some unusual activity, showing an increase in X-ray flares that coincided with the close passage of the…
In a newly published study, astronomers reveal evidence for a new intermediate-mass black hole about 5,000 times the mass of the sun. Nearly all black…
Using the XMM-Newton X-ray Satellite, astronomers from the Max Planck Institute observe the events around the black hole at the center of the Milky Way….
This newly released image from the XMM-Newton satellite shows Abell 78 – the second born-again planetary nebula discovered. Beneath the vivid hues of this eye-shaped…
Using NASA’s NuSTAR and ESA’s XMM-Newton telescopes astronomers have measured the strength of ultra-fast winds from a supermassive black hole, proving that the winds are…
This new image of supernova remnant Puppis A includes data from Chandra and XMM-Newton and is the most complete and detailed X-ray view to date,…
This composite image shows the remnant of a supernova that would have been witnessed on Earth 3,700 years ago. This image from the Chandra X-Ray…
Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA’s XMM-Newton, a new study of the Perseus galaxy cluster has revealed a mysterious X-ray signal. A…
This newly released image combines X-ray coverage from ESA’s XMM-Newton X-ray observatory with an infrared view from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope to show the star-forming…
Two new studies report that X-rays emanating from the hearts of nearby galaxies and galaxy clusters could be signs of particles of dark matter decaying…
