Researchers have discovered an extragalactic star, S0-6, near the Milky Way’s central supermassive black hole. The star’s unique composition and 10 billion-year journey from a…
New research using computer simulations and astronomical data has uncovered that some long-lasting gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are caused by cosmic mergers forming black holes, challenging…
Using NASA’s Chandra and Webb telescopes, astronomers have discovered an ancient, massive black hole, providing clues about the origins of the universe’s first supermassive black…
Astronomers have discovered the most distant black hole ever observed in X-rays, located in galaxy UHZ1, over 13 billion light-years away. Using data from the…
Astronomers have discovered a mysterious alignment of novae explosions along the path of a massive jet in the galaxy M87. While the jet and novae…
New ALMA observations have uncovered the impact of supermassive black holes on the chemical composition of galaxies, revealing how they break down common molecules and…
A new theory proposes that black holes can exist in balanced pairs, appearing as one due to a force called the ‘cosmological constant’. This force,…
Through analyzing data from nearly 11,500 active galactic nuclei, researchers discovered a consistent relationship between black hole mass and stellar mass across different galaxy types.…
When black holes collide, they produce gravitational waves detectable on Earth. Although theorized by Einstein in 1916, they were not directly observed until 2015. Modern…
Through their study of radiation produced by supermassive black holes in quasars, scientists found that spectral energy distribution is not influenced by a quasar’s intrinsic…
Schematic representation of the tilted accretion disk model. The black hole spin axis is assumed to be straight up and down in this illustration. The…

Using new simulation technology, scientists predict the existence of massive merging black holes in Milky Way-like galaxies, challenging established theories. Above is a 31.5 solar-mass…
A new study shows that, by dragging space-time, supermassive black holes can rip apart the violent whirlpool of debris (or accretion disks) that encircle them,…
A Sun-like star, located in a galaxy about 500 million light-years away, is being incrementally devoured by a black hole, shedding a mass equivalent to…
Evidence for two pairs of supermassive black holes in dwarf galaxies on collision courses has been found with Chandra. The two pairs are shown in…
A rare and bizarre cosmic event involving three massive black holes has led to the discovery of an unprecedented phenomenon: a supermassive black hole moving…
