Smaller black holes tend to attract less material, making them naturally dimmer. Chandra would miss many of these faint ...

A near-infrared view of the stars near the center of the Milky Way galaxy. - ESO / S. Gillessen et al. Astronomers suspect the giant black hole at the heart of the Milky Way may have collided with ...

Scientists explain how rare bright blue cosmic flashes form when black holes tear apart massive stars, based on new observations of the event AT 2024wpp and similar fast blue optical transients ...

Astronomers have discovered 53 new supermassive black hole-powered quasars that are blasting out jets of matter at near light-speed that stretch out for up to 7.2 million light-years, around 50 times ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has just confirmed a cosmic fugitive: the first known supermassive black hole racing through ...

A new study on some 1,600 galaxies based on data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory reveals that many small galaxies do not ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...

Astronomers have discovered a massive black hole jet that is three times bigger than the Milky Way. The jet is known as Quasar J1601+3102, and it was first spotted by astronomers using the Low ...

Astronomers have made a truly mind-boggling discovery using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): a runaway black hole 10 ...

Omega Centauri dominates the southern sky as the Milky Way's largest and brightest globular cluster, a dense sphere ...

Dusty stars close to the Milky Way’s black hole stay stable for years. New infrared data shows they survive gravity and follow steady orbits.

The Milky Way’s black hole, Sagittarius A* Abhishek Joshi / UIUC Black holes keep their secrets close. They imprison forever anything that enters. Light itself can’t escape a black hole’s hungry pull.
