Quasars — galactic cores containing active supermassive black holes — are among the most ancient things in the universe. As dust and gas accelerate toward the quasar's central black hole, the ...
New images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed, for the first time, starlight from two massive galaxies hosting actively growing black holes – quasars – seen less than a billion ...
A team of Indian astrophysicists has made a significant discovery shedding new light on the physics of gas accretion and ...
A new study by an international team led by researchers at Oxford University Physics has provided the first observational ...
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory along with the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF)'s National Radio Astronomical ...
Primordial black holes are one of the strongest candidates for the universe's missing dark matter. But a new theory suggests that not enough of the miniature black holes formed for this to be the ...
Black holes are regions in space where an enormous amount of mass is packed into a tiny volume. This creates a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape. They are created when giant ...
Scientists have discovered certain types of black holes that swivel around and shoot beams at objects in the cosmos.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have gotten the first-ever look at the light of ancient stars shining around some of the biggest, brightest and oldest black holes in the ...
Black holes have a profound impact on their environments. As gas falls towards a super-massive black hole its gravitational potential energy can be converted to heat and light, in some instances ...
Researchers, using the galaxy as a detector, believe they have detected gravitational waves from monster black holes for the first time.
