In a groundbreaking follow-up to their 2019 reveal of the first black hole image, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) team has ...

Jets blasting from supermassive black holes cause gas to cool and fall toward that cosmic titan in a cosmic feeding process.

Scientists have found that supermassive black holes self-grow by regulating the cooling of surrounding hot gas, forming warm gas filaments that they consume. This discovery enhances the ...

Black holes aren't just gorging themselves on whatever cosmic material is readily available—they're preparing those meals for themselves. Data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory reveals that ...

researchers can make better predictions about the total number of supermassive black holes in the universe. Published in the Astrophysical Journal, the new study found that about 35% of supermassive ...

The dense stellar remnant would, if confirmed, be the closest known object to any black hole, according to preliminary research Sara Hashemi The energetic streams are together 23 million light ...

It's no secret that black holes are some of the weirdest objects in space. Their disks are fluffy like cake, and diving into one is both interesting and terrifying. Now, a group of astronomers ...

"So if we didn't have a supermassive black hole in our Milky Way galaxy, there might be many more stars in the sky. That's just one example of how black holes can influence a galaxy's evolution." This ...

Jets from black holes trigger cooling in the hot gas, causing it to condense into warm filaments. These filaments then flow toward the black hole, feeding it, and the cycle repeats. Brightness ...
