Ancient quasars seen by the James Webb Space Telescope technically shouldn’t exist, but one rare type of dark matter could ...

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged a "200,000 light-year-long trail of newborn stars" that may have been left behind by a ...

Jets from black holes trigger cooling in the hot gas, causing it to condense into warm filaments. These filaments then flow toward the black hole, feeding it, and the cycle repeats. Brightness ...

Researchers have discovered a celestial phenomenon that defies accepted astrophysical ideas using sophisticated data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft. Once hidden away in old star ...

An international team of researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Chandra X-ray observatory has discovered a bizarre black hole that may provide insights into the ...

The Hubble Telescope captured a supermassive black hole creating expanding gas bubbles in the galaxy SDSS J1354+1327, 900 million light-years away. HE0435-1223, seen at the centre of this image, is ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Supermassive black holes are spinning faster than previously thought, challenging the notion that they primarily form through galaxy mergers. Instead, their ...

Supermassive black holes, billions of times heavier than the Sun, sit at the centres of galaxies. Despite their darkness, they emit bright signals when gas spirals around them. Detecting hidden ...

Sgr A*'s presence creates a wild, turbulent region of space, with a huge torus of dust roiling around the supermassive black hole. Astronomers don't know what causes the flares in the region, but ...
