The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way appears to be having a party—and it is weird, wild and wonderful.

Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, Northwestern astrophysicists gained the longest, most detailed glimpse yet of the ...

Black holes can actively regulate the material they consume, using powerful jets of gas blasted into space, according to a ...

"This discovery challenges the common belief that black holes formed in star clusters always have randomly distributed spins." "Roses are red. Violets are blue. Your event horizon means I can't ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spied dynamic flares of light near the supermassive black hole at the ...

"Our measurements imply that the supermassive black hole mass is 10% of the stellar mass in the galaxies we studied." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered ...

An international team of researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Chandra X-ray observatory has discovered a bizarre black hole that may provide insights into the ...

Black holes are famous for being insatiable concentrations of gravity from which not even light can escape. And if they floated through space all on their lonesome, it might be the end of the story.

The moment creates a beautiful sight in simulations of how space works. In stellar clusters - groups of stars that can contain as few as a dozen to as many as millions - binary black holes can ...

Scientists have proposed a new type of dark matter called ultra self-interacting dark matter to explain how supermassive black holes grew quickly. Unlike regular dark matter, this type interacts ...

aiding in understanding the earliest supermassive black holes. Able to see into the far reaches of the universe, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) glimpsed quasars so distant and ancient that ...
