When we go backwards in time through the history of the cosmos, the distances and volumes shrink, while the average energy ...

Black hole light echoes are an extreme form of gravitational lensing. To measure the masses and spins of black holes, ...

As we gaze into the universe, we've discovered most galaxies have a supermassive black hole lurking near the center.

Recent results suggest these exotic objects just might help us account for the mysterious force pushing the universe apart.

Scientists using observations from NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory have discovered, for the first time, the signal from a pair of monster black holes disrupting a cloud of gas in the center of a ...

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can have billions of solar masses, and observational evidence suggests that all large ...

Scientists using observations from NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory have discovered, for the first time, the signal from ...

NASA’s Chandra spots unusual 'knots' in a nearby black hole jet. X-ray data shows bright knots in Centaurus A black hole’s ...

NASA compares the universe's biggest black holes with "each other and to our solar system," in this Goddard Space Flight ...

A team of astronomers believe they have found a black hole in the early universe gobbling down matter at a rate of 40 times ...

The energetic streams are together 23 million light-years in length—roughly as long as 140 Milky Way galaxies lined end to end Shi En Kim The black hole, if confirmed, is in the star cluster ...

Nov. 12, 2024 — The standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies.
