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

The Fermi Bubbles, massive shockwaves from a black hole eruption, still expand over the Milky Way. This event reshaped our ...

This suggests a stable mass transfer process that can lead to alternating strong and weak eruptions, providing insights into the dynamics of stellar interactions near black holes. Another ...

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 ...

Astrophysical jets from black holes play a key role in cosmic evolution, impacting star formation and revealing insights ...

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 ...

"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 ...

NASA discovered black holes fueling their own growth by cooling gas, creating a cycle of jets, filaments, and feeding, ...

The black hole, with an official name of 1ES 1927+654, is located in the distant constellation Draco. Astronomers have been monitoring the black hole for years, primarily since 2018 when the mass ...

Three university students have photographed what may be the most elusive mammal on the planet. In October last year, the ...

For years, astronomers have been puzzled by the presence of two gigantic, high-energy “bubbles” towering over and beneath the Milky Way’s center, extending 50,000 light-years into space. First ...
