A new polarized light image of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* has given us our first clear look at the magnetic field of the cosmic juggernaut, which suggests that it may have superheated jets just like even larger black holes.

The ancient obect Gz9p3, which appeared as a single point of light through the Hubble Space Telescope, is actually one of the most enormous galaxies in the early universe, James Webb Space Telescope observations reveal.

Two supermassive black holes spotted circling inside a remote 'fossil' galaxy are the heaviest, and the closest, black hole binary ever found.

New observations with the James Webb Space Telescope reveal that dwarf galaxies in the early universe released enough collective radiation to change the cosmos forever.

The Hubble Space Telescope's latest image is a riot of orange, blue and violet — and a lesson in how plucky young stars clear their dusty neighborhoods.

For the first time, scientists discovered a powerful 'black hole wind' that blew through a nearby galaxy for hundreds of days, crushing star formation and reshaping the galaxy. Something similar may already have happened in the Milky Way.

ESO 420-G013 is a face-on spiral galaxy with an almost perfectly round disk and an active black hole lighting up its starry guts.

New simulations show how thousands of galaxies evolve by traveling through the strands of gas, dust and stars that make up the universe's "cosmic web."

The most powerful and distant fast radio burst ever seen has been tracked to a "blob" of galaxies that existed when the universe was less than half its current age.

Scientists discovered 13 molecules, including some never spotted before in the early universe, inside two galaxies located 12 billion light-years away.
