Feb. 19, 2025 — Within the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument's early data, scientists have uncovered the largest samples ever of intermediate-mass black holes and dwarf galaxies hosting an ...

Scientists have detected radio signals from hot gas surrounding a supermassive black hole that existed 12.9 billion years ago, according to new research published in Nature Astronomy from an ...

Could our galaxy actually be inside a black hole? New research seems to suggest this possibility. NASA's James Webb Telescope discovered that the rotation of the galaxies goes against what ...

The behemoth, nicknamed J2345-0449, is a giant radio galaxy, or "super spiral" galaxy roughly three times the size of the Milky Way.Like our own spiral galaxy, it harbors a supermassive black hole ...

Astronomers have detected an erupting supermassive black hole producing some of the largest jets ever seen bursting from a galaxy with the same shape as our own. The galaxy in question also ...

The black hole at the Milky Way’s heart neither slumbers nor sleeps. Instead, the ring of plasma surrounding it flickers constantly, punctuated by superbright flares, observations show.

Astronomers have discovered a black hole so mind-bogglingly large, trying to get a grasp of how big it really is could induce an existential crisis. The latest, still-unnamed black hole is lurking ...

Rotating black holes are the most powerful phenomenon in the known universe. Their powerful gravity radically alters the curvature of spacetime around them, leading to relativistic effects like ...

The gravity of the situation: Although Einsteing himself argued against the existence of black holes, their existence was originally derived from Einstein’s formulation of what is now known as ...

A rare instance of a supermassive black hole merger has been observed, resulting in a black hole exhibiting an unusually high proper motion. The New Scientist reported that this event holds ...

"Black holes are so stealthy that this one has been practically under our noses this whole time." The galaxy next door to the Milky Way, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), could be hiding a ...

Astronomers have uncovered compelling evidence of the closest supermassive black hole outside of our own Milky Way galaxy. Nestled within the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), one of our nearest galactic ...
