Scientists have discovered that some supermassive black holes rotate much more rapidly than expected. The discovery came as ...

New research shows black holes can trigger gas cooling, creating fuel for their own feeding. This process keeps them growing ...

If a star orbits a black hole, it will appear from a distance to be orbiting empty space. Gaia projects the star’s orbit on a ...

For the first time, researchers have found evidence that even microquasars with low-mass stars can efficiently accelerate ...

"Our measurements imply that the supermassive black hole mass is 10% of the stellar mass in the galaxies we studied." ...

Scientists have found that supermassive black holes self-grow by regulating the cooling of surrounding hot gas, forming warm ...

Supermassive black holes can fuel their own growth by cooling and recycling gas, creating a continuous cycle of feeding and outbursts. The central regions of galaxy clusters host the universe’s ...

Supermassive black holes are seen as sources of wanton cosmic destruction, but there may be more to their powerful influence ...

Black holes are some of the most mysterious objects in the universe, but what if we could recreate their physics in a lab?

Astronomers have long been fascinated by the enigmatic behavior of black holes and their role in the cosmos. These colossal ...

According to NASA, "there are hundreds of them"—massive black holes roaming space. It is now emerging and reshaping the ...

The newly discovered "blazar," which has a mass equal to 700 million suns, is the oldest of its kind ever seen and changes what we know about the early universe.
