A team of astrophysicists have found flares of light in Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky ...

JWST captured this dazzling display of flaring activity from the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way.

Expect the unexpected In this artist’s rendering, a stream of matter trails a white dwarf orbiting within the innermost accretion disk surrounding 1ES 1927+654’s supermassive black hole. (Courtesy: ...

making it twice as long as the width of the Milky Way. Even more surprisingly, the black hole that powers the quasar from which this jet erupts, designated J1601+3102, is relatively small.

As their name implies, the entities are enormous (Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of our Milky Way is 4.3 million times bigger than the sun.) They're also scarily destructive and ...

NDSU has dug itself a hole and the only way out is on the road. That's rarely a formula for success.

The researchers who found Porphyrion then used the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope in India and the VM Keck Observatory in Hawaii to pinpoint the black hole jet’s location to a galaxy ten times more ...

Don't let the name fool you. Black holes might all have hearts of pure darkness, but many cloak themselves in rings of fire that blaze like little else in the cosmos. That doesn't mean all are ...

"So if we didn’t have a supermassive black hole in our Milky Way galaxy, there might be many more stars in the sky. That’s just one example of how black holes can influence a galaxy’s evolution.
