Space is already filled with plenty of mysteries, and black holes may be among the strangest. Here are some of the questions ...

There is always something fascinating about science and its discoveries. A sideways black hole, a rare cosmic aberration, has been discovered in the galaxy NGC 5084 by astronomers employing NASA’s ...

The Hubble Telescope captured a supermassive black hole creating expanding gas bubbles in the galaxy SDSS J1354+1327, 900 million light-years away. HE0435-1223, seen at the centre of this image, is ...

Using telescopes like Hubble, researchers found a supermassive black hole in galaxy SDSS J1354+1327, 900 million light-years away, blowing hot gas bubbles. NGC 1275, or Perseus A, is a galaxy at the ...

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 ...

"For such a faint and unknown target, we were not sure if we would get any data at all — but the strategy worked." Astronomers studying elusive supermassive black holes at the hearts of galaxies ...

"Our measurements imply that the supermassive black hole mass is 10% of the stellar mass in the galaxies we studied." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered ...

Using the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI), the researchers observed the AGN in NGC 1068 – one of the closest active galaxies to the Milky Way. The images reveal new details about how ...

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 ...
