supermassive black hole

Scientists found a monster black hole that 'hiccups' every 8.5 days, and a smaller black hole that keeps punching through its accretion disk may be to blame.

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

A distant quasar that was initially mistaken for a star is actually one of the brightest and fastest-growing black holes ever seen.

Astronomers investigated an active supermassive black hole at the heart of Perseus A using the Event Horizon Telescope, spotting an epic battle between gravity and magnetism.

Our solar system has been orbiting the Milky Way's black hole heart for 4.6 billion years. But it is hard to pin down exactly how many trips around the galaxy our sun has made during that time.

A dazzling new James Webb telescope image of the region near the Milky Way's central black hole reveals thousands of newborn stars among the "most extreme cosmic environment" in the galaxy.

The newly identified quasar, observed 13.7 billion light-years away by the James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory, could be an example of a heavy black hole "seed" in the early universe.

Astronomers have spotted two huge jets fired off by the 'monster' black hole M87 wobbling on an 11-year cycle, proving for the first time that black holes spin.

Researchers accidentally stumbled on a way to measure the size of the accretion disks of dust, gas and plasma that surround black holes.

NASA has identified a supermassive black hole blasting its energetic jets straight toward Earth. Don't worry, though, this blazar is located 400 million light-years away.
