Astronomers have spotted a supermassive black hole ripping apart and devouring a star in colliding galaxies. It is only the ...

Scientists have uncovered new evidence helping to understand intermediate-mass black holes, thought to be the rare “missing links” in black hole evolution.

In a major leap forward, scientists, using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), have captured the sharpest images yet of ...

Supermassive black holes shoot energy in bullet-like bursts rather than steady winds, affecting galaxy formation.

Using NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories, astronomers found the cosmic object in an unexpected place. Rather than sitting dead center in its galaxy like most supermassive black ...

One star is captured into a tight orbit around the black hole, while the other is flung outward at extreme velocities—often exceeding millions of miles per hour—becoming a hypervelocity star. The ...

This artist’s illustration depicts a dwarf galaxy that hosts an active galactic nucleus — an actively feeding black hole. In the background are many other dwarf galaxies hosting active black holes, as ...
