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 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.

aims to within the next decade send a fleet of three space probes into orbit to study gravitational waves, or distortions in space-time caused by violent events such as the collision of black holes.

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 ...

For the first time, NASA Chandra X-ray telescope has been used to discover a pair of black holes in dwarf galaxies that are ...

strangest black hole collision ever found Astronomers spot the biggest, strangest black hole collision ever found Mysterious cosmic object swallowed by black hole baffles astronomers Mysterious ...

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 ...

An artist's concept of the supermassive black hole's mid-infrared flare. Image: CfA/Mel Weiss Astronomers have detected a mid-infrared flare from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the ...

Investigators are intensifying their search into what caused the collision between American Airlines Flight 5342 and an Army Black Hawk helicopter, with recovery crews still working to pull ...

"This is a promising sign that there continues to be new and exciting avenues to explore tidal disruption events and use them as probes of supermassive black holes." Astronomers have watched as a ...

Their interaction releases energy in the form of gravitational waves, which would eventually force the white dwarf on a collision course with the black hole. Thanks to the oscillation changes ...

It’s unclear if these dual black holes will continue to dine nonchalantly beside one another, or if the two will end up in a dance that ultimately results in their own collision and merger.
