These eruptions are observed in binary star systems and suggest a surprising link between the extreme environment surrounding ...

Jets blasting from supermassive black holes cause gas to cool and fall toward that cosmic titan in a cosmic feeding process.

These events are also connected to supermassive black holes, but astronomers could not explain what caused the semi-regular ...

NASA discovered black holes fueling their own growth by cooling gas, creating a cycle of jets, filaments, and feeding, ...

confirming repeated eruptions. The findings are crucial for understanding how stellar debris interacts with other objects near black holes. Continued Monitoring by NASA’s NICER Instrument NASA's ...

In the Ophiuchus galaxy cluster, astronomers spotted the largest explosion in the universe consisting of energy equal to a ...

A video showing the radio galaxy, Centaurus A, which hosts the closest actively feeding black hole to Earth. The video shows the apparent size of the galaxy at optical, X-ray and submillimetre ...

This suggests a stable mass transfer process that can lead to alternating strong and weak eruptions, providing insights into the dynamics of stellar interactions near black holes. Another ...

It is most famous for a massive eruption in A.D. 79, which destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and killed around 2,000 people, around half of which were perfectly preserved by ...
