Astronomers detected a black hole displaced nearly a kiloparsec from the center of a dwarf galaxy 230 million light-years away. Unlike most, it is actively feeding and producing radio jets, making it ...

The two stars, one dead and one circling the drain, are collectively called V Sagittae. They orbit one another every 12.3 ...

When people think of black holes, they imagine something dramatic: a star exploding in space, collapsing in on itself, and forming a cosmic monster that eats everything around it. But what if black ...

Astronomers are learning more about the origins of supermassive black holes after new data is revealed from a 20-year-long ...

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

A strange and violent fate awaits a white dwarf star that wanders too close to a moderately massive black hole. According to a new study, the black hole’s gravitational pull on the white dwarf would ...

NASA has visualized the cataclysm, which is thought to have caused a mysterious eruption of gamma rays captured by telescopes ...

While nearly all massive galaxies possess central black holes, the presence of such black holes in dwarf galaxies remains an open question, with previous estimates identifying them in only 0.5% of ...

Within the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument's early data, scientists have uncovered the largest samples ever of intermediate-mass black holes and dwarf galaxies hosting an active black hole, more ...

A wandering black hole in a dwarf galaxy 230 million light-years away, offset from the center and launching jets, offers clues to black hole growth beyond nuclei. (Nanowerk News) Traditionally, black ...
