A newly analyzed radio image reveals twin lobes stretching roughly 66,000 light-years on each side of a quasar called ...

A one million-solar-mass black hole resides outside its host galaxy's centre. In a scene straight out of a sci-fi movie, scientists have captured a hungry black hole that is ripping up and ...

The sneaky black hole betrayed its presence in a newly identified tidal disruption event (TDE) where a hapless star was ripped apart and swallowed in a spectacular burst of radiation. These ...

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar feature: the singularity at the center—a point, hidden behind the ...

Astronomers have discovered the largest and most ancient radio jet ever detected, emitted by a quasar from when the universe ...

Now, about a year later, we know it's the first tidal disruption event—meaning a star being ripped apart by a supermassive black hole—identified at visual wavelengths. It's also a rather ...

A supermassive black hole around a million times the mass of the Sun just gave away its position in spectacular fashion. When a passing star veered a little too close, it was torn apart in the ...

Astronomers have observed a tidal disruption event, AT2024tvd, caused by a rogue supermassive black hole devouring a star far from its galaxy's center. This marks the first time a TDE has been ...

The curious minds at What If reveal the hidden black hole scientists recently discovered near Earth. At least 5 dead after severe storm, including possible tornado, batters St. Louis, mayor says ...

Scientists have made the most accurate predictions yet of the gravitational waves produced when two black holes fly past each other. Every time this doomed star plunges through a supermassive ...

Lurking 600 million light-years away, the supermassive black hole—which has the same mass as some 1 million suns—betrayed its presence when it was caught shredding and then devouring a poor ...

The telescope has offered an unprecedented view of a supermassive black hole at the center of a quasar as it munches material in space. "We think most black holes form from violent explosions of ...
