Twin jets erupt from a supermassive black hole in Draco, offering new insights into black hole activity and evolution.

In some galaxies, large amounts of interstellar gas are spiralling around the super massive black hole and getting pulled in ...

If any student at ETSU is a fan of physics and astronomy, they are in luck. Saturday, Feb. 1, at 8 p.m., the Harry D. Powell Observatory will hold the “Black Holes in Space and on Earth” event created ...

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 ...

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 ...

If the doughnut hole is facing toward Earth, the bright central disk within it is visible; if the doughnut is seen edge-on, the disk is obscured. A thick torus of gas and dust surrounding a ...

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 ...

Space experts have uncovered a massive swarm of new supermassive black holes that could blow theories about galaxies wide open. A team of scientists using data from two NASA telescopes revealed ...
