This collision left a V-shaped imprint in the X-rays observed by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. But what does this really mean? At the heart of Centaurus A, a supermassive black hole ejects a ...
This simulation shows two black holes colliding near the speed of light, revealing the mysterious physics of what one astrophysicist calls “one of the most violent events you can imagine in the ...
This suggests that NGC 5084 is host to a supermassive black hole tipped on its side, and scientists think it could be evidence of a galactic collision in NGC 5084’s recent past. Sometimes being ...
Ripples from the collision between two black holes nine billion years ago reached Earth for the first time in 2017 Scientists have detected gravitational waves originating from the biggest known ...
This would provide plenty of cosmic gas on which a black hole could feast. "There's a stream of stars and gas connecting these two galaxies. That collision led gas to stream towards the ...
A black hole merger between two partner black holes — with a combined mass of 150 suns but only as big as Lucknow — may have exploded in a flare of light for the first time ever.
