A wobbling jet from a giant, voracious black hole is suppressing star formation in a distant galaxy—and astronomers have ...

Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists to wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole. Parallels in the physics of the universe and that of black holes have led ...

A team of researchers recently reported the discovery of AT2024wpp, an extremely energetic event involving a black hole and a massive star locked in a deadly ...

A wobbling jet from a supermassive black hole in a nearby galaxy is blasting gas out at a rate high enough to suppress star formation.

The early universe appears to be littered with enormous star-like balls of gas powered by a black hole at their core, a finding that has taken astronomers by surprise and might solve one of the ...

Supermassive black holes have been found at the center of almost every galaxy, sucking up anything unlucky to fall into its maw — including light itself — through unfathomable gravitational forces.

In a fresh discovery that's leaving astronomers awestruck, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has confirmed the existence of a "runaway" supermassive black hole roughly 20 million times the mass of ...
