Astronomers are searching for signs of a supermassive black hole in the galaxy cluster Abell 2261. Nearly all large galaxies contain central black holes, and the galaxy in the middle of Abell 2261 is expected to contain a particularly massive one. Scientists think this galaxy underwent a merger with...

The mystery surrounding the whereabouts of a supermassive black hole has deepened. Despite searching with NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have no evidence that a distant black hole estimated to weigh between 3 billion and one hundred billion times the m...

Magnetic Fields Help Black Holes Reach Deeper Into Galaxies Black holes potentially have an even larger influence on the galaxies around them than we thought. And the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) provided a new way to look at their impact. Active galactic nuclei (AGN) — t...

A Deep Gravitational Sinkhole Swallows Unlucky Bypassing Star Black holes have such a voracious gravitational pull that they even swallow light. This makes them hungry monsters lurking in the eternal darkness. There’s no escape if you happen to stumble across one in the inky blackness of space. That...

Uncovering a star’s demise: Supermassive black hole tears apart a giant star in a display brighter, more energetic, and longer lasting than any observed before. Astronomers have identified a highly energetic and long-lasting transient object, dubbed “Scary Barbie,” hidden in a backlog of...

The observations will help astronomers pin down the physics of the plasma around black holes. Astronomers have used the Global Millimeter VLBI Array (GMVA) to capture detailed images of M87*, revealing a larger, intense plasma ring and visual evidence of the black hole’s accretion disk and rel...

Surprisingly unspectacular: Black hole already weighed over a billion solar masses in the early universe despite average appetite. Peering into the early stages of the 13.8 billion-year-old universe, the James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a galaxy as it existed just 700 million years after the B...

Researchers have discovered a new predatory crustacean species, Dulcibella camanchaca, in the hadal zone of the Atacama Trench. This finding highlights the adaptive evolution necessary for survival in extreme deep-sea environments and underscores the importance of continued exploration and study of ...

NGC 4945, a beautiful spiral galaxy over 12 million light-years away, hides a ferocious secret: a ravenous black hole at its center. This supermassive beast doesn’t just consume matter — it blasts it back out at incredible speeds, launching winds that escape the galaxy itself. This featured European...
