Astronomers have witnessed something that no one believed possible: a black hole ripping apart a star not at the center of a galaxy, but far from it. More amazingly, the event’s radio waves pulsed and ...

Astronomers spotted a flaring black hole that may be consuming a star at least 30 times more massive than the sun. At its ...

A supermassive black hole lurking at the center of M87, a supergiant galaxy 55 million light-years from Earth, is acting far more strangely than anticipated. Since 2017, astronomers from the Event ...

Astronomers have detected the first tidal disruption event (TDE), designated AT2024tvd, occurring 2,600 light-years outside its host galaxy's core, exhibiting intense, rapidly evolving radio signals.

Active galactic nucleus (AGN) black hole 10 billion light-years away, J2245+3743, made the biggest and brightest flare ever ...

The images, captured with the Event Horizon Telescope, show the magnetic field of the supermassive black hole M87* completely reversing. EHT Collaboration Observations of a supermassive black hole ...

More than a century ago, astronomer Heber Curtis spotted the first black hole jet – a vast stream of superheated plasma from the supermassive behemoth that sits at the centre of galaxy M87. Now, the ...

The supermassive black hole is that first one that astronomers ever photographed. For more than a century, astronomers have marveled at the brilliant jet of matter blasting from the heart of the giant ...

"This is like a cosmic lighthouse lit by a wandering black hole." New research suggests that not all feeding massive black holes sit stably at the heart of their home galaxies. A team of astronomers ...

When two black holes meet, they are drawn to one another by way of their enormous gravity, initiating a powerful orbital dance, spiraling closer together over time, until one subsumes the other and ...
