"It is amazing to see that we are gradually moving towards combining these breakthrough observations across multiple frequencies and completing the picture of the jet launching region." ...

"Looking out into the universe is uniquely allowing us to look back in time and piece together this beautiful cosmic story ...

An unusually massive black hole in the very early universe may be a kind of exotic, star-less black hole first theorised by Stephen Hawking. In August, Boyuan Liu at the University of Cambridge and ...

A supermassive black hole that’s 10 million times the mass of the Sun is hurtling through space, leaving a trail of gas that’s spawning newborn stars in its wake. Astronomers have long theorized about ...

In a fresh discovery that's leaving astronomers awestruck, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has confirmed the existence of a "runaway" supermassive black hole roughly 20 million times the mass of ...

A black hole inside a distant spiral galaxy is devouring material from the universe around it and creating winds at speeds never before seen by astronomers. The European Space Agency said that the ...

A remarkably clean gravitational-wave detection has confirmed long-standing predictions about black holes, including Hawking’s area theorem and Einstein’s ringdown behavior. The findings also provide ...

Earlier this year, researchers reported the most massive black hole merger ever detected. But the event was so unusual that questions around its origin sowed confusion within the astrophysics ...

A team of astronomers has discovered a supermassive black hole that is 100 million times the mass of the sun. This impressive discovery was found using the powerful James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) ...

Astronomers have detected a supermassive black hole flare thought to be the brightest and most distant discovered yet. Credit: Caltech / R. Hurt illustration A supermassive black hole tearing apart a ...

Astronomers suspect that the flare is a a burst of radiation that occurs when a black hole consumes a hapless star, ripping it apart and swallowing it. Astronomers are continuing to monitor the black ...

This artist's concept depicts a supermassive black hole in the process of shredding a massive star—at least 30 times the mass of our Sun—to pieces. Scientists propose this is what happened around the ...
