Smaller black holes tend to attract less material, making them naturally dimmer. Chandra would miss many of these faint ...

Image of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration "has ...

A near-infrared view of the stars near the center of the Milky Way galaxy. - ESO / S. Gillessen et al. Astronomers suspect the giant black hole at the heart of the Milky Way may have collided with ...

Omega Centauri dominates the southern sky as the Milky Way's largest and brightest globular cluster, a dense sphere ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...

"The sizes of these radio jets are not comparable to our solar system or even our galaxy." ...

In fact, these jets often expand into wide plumes or “lobes” that fan out far above and below their host galaxies. The jets ...

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

“The supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way has not only the capability to destroy stars but it can also ...

A supermassive black hole in the early Universe has been spotted blasting out powerful jets of plasma that are at least twice as long as the Milky Way is wide. Its host galaxy is a quasar called ...

The Milky Way’s black hole, Sagittarius A* Abhishek Joshi / UIUC Black holes keep their secrets close. They imprison forever anything that enters. Light itself can’t escape a black hole’s hungry pull.

"In order to get such high sensitivity in the mid-infrared, one needs to go to space, as the atmosphere severely messes up ground-based observations at this wavelength." Astronomers have used the ...
