"Our measurements imply that the supermassive black hole mass is 10% of the stellar mass in the galaxies we studied." ...

Black holes might all have hearts of pure darkness, but many cloak themselves in rings of fire that blaze like little else in ...

The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. At the same time several telescopes, including the Chandra X-ray Observatory ...

By studying the fastest jet ever seen erupting from an infant star, astronomers have discovered that the mechanism that ...

By combining data from NASA’s IRAS and NuSTAR telescopes, scientists have uncovered more hidden supermassive black holes than earlier estimates suggested. Their findings indicate that over a third of ...

Jets blasting from supermassive black holes cause gas to cool and fall toward that cosmic titan in a cosmic feeding process.

The image of M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of massive elliptical galaxy M87, changed the world. It was the ...

Scientists used changes in the supermassive black hole M87*'s accretion disk to infer its orientation, size and turbulence ...

A new analysis of M87*, the first black hole imaged by humanity, has revealed turbulence in the matter around it, which this ...

As far as supermassive black holes go, the one at the center of the Milky Way is relatively sedate. But, even in its supposed quiescent state, Sagittarius A* is prone to the occasional belch or ...
