Besides stars, the United States Navy uses quasars as beacons. Quasars are distant galaxies with supermassive black holes, surrounded by ... X-Ray Flashes from a Nearby Supermassive Black Hole ...

As far as supermassive black holes go, the one at the center of the Milky Way is relatively sedate. But, even in its supposed quiescent state, Sagittarius A* is prone to the occasional belch or ...

A large international team of scientists observed a rare event in real time: a dramatic increase in radio emission and the formation of plasma jets from a black hole in the galaxy 1ES 1927+654, 270 ...

A fluffy cluster of stars spilling across the sky may have a secret hidden in its heart: a swarm of over 100 stellar-mass black holes. The star cluster in question is called Palomar 5. It's a stellar ...

The jets extending from these blazars can extend millions of light-years in length. Black holes are among the most mysterious cosmic objects, much studied but not fully understood. In pursuit of ...

An active galactic nucleus (AGN) is a region at the center of a galaxy where a supermassive black hole is actively consuming surrounding material. As this matter spirals toward the black hole, it ...

Supermassive black holes, billions of times heavier than the Sun, sit at the centres of galaxies. Despite their darkness, they emit bright signals when gas spirals around them. Detecting hidden ...

This breakthrough enables unprecedented insight into the energetic phenomena surrounding supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, revealing interactions like dusty winds and radio jet ...

On April 6, 2024, the JWST detected a 40-minute flare from the black hole. The telescope's observations backed up the simulations that suggest criss-crossing magnetic field lines drive the flares.

Anthropologie is like a Pinterest inspiration board come to life. There are so many pieces from Anthro that would really take ...
