An artist's concept of a black hole orbited by a neutron star. Image: Caltech/R. Hurt (IPAC) When a black hole and a neutron star finally meet, the result is cosmic carnage—and now, thanks to ...

It’s the largest black hole jet we’ve discovered to date. What makes this particular jet so exciting for astronomers is not only its size. It’s also estimated to be 1.2 billion years old.

Sometimes a black hole is orbited by a neutron star—the dense corpse of a star also formed from a supernova explosion but which contains less mass than a black hole.

A supermassive black hole located 1.2 billion light-years away shows signs of intense activity. Observations reveal matter ...

Astronomers at the University of Hawaii uncovered black hole events so packed with energy, they were the biggest explosions seen since the Big Bang.
