The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged a "200,000 light-year-long trail of newborn stars" that may have been left behind by a ...

A new form of black hole archeology, linking spin to gas and dust, has revealed that these cosmic titans spin faster than ...

Supermassive black holes, 1,000 times larger than previously thought, have been discovered in LRD-type galaxies. This ...

"This is the first solid evidence that helical magnetic fields can explain astrophysical jets at different scales." ...

Gravitational waves are unlocking the origins of black holes, linking spin shifts to sequential mergers in star clusters.

Black holes are notorious for gobbling up, well, everything. They're icons of destruction, ruthless voids, ambivalent abysses ...

Observations with JWST show unexpectedly large black holes in early galaxies, reshaping ideas about cosmic evolution.

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 ...

But not all black holes have a bright visible ring, so finding them takes a bit more creativity. Astronomers believe there are billions, or perhaps even trillions, of supermassive black holes ...

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 ...

Black holes might all have hearts of pure darkness, but many cloak themselves in rings of fire that blaze like little else in the cosmos. That doesn't mean all are detectable. An analysis of galaxies ...
