Strange x-ray pulses hint at a surprisingly long-lived white dwarf orbiting precariously close to a supermassive black hole ...

Scientists want to know if a tidal disruption event that exploded twice is the result of a star abandoning its binary partner ...

A black hole infamous for strange features has once again baffled astronomers, this time with rapid X-ray flashes. What could ...

This is also unprecedented behavior for a black hole. If these weird episodes are the result of an orbiting white dwarf, a type of stellar remnant left behind when a star with around the mass of ...

New research may have delivered bad news for scientists who thought they had discovered a "missing link" black hole in a dense Milky Way star cluster. "The hunt for elusive intermediate-mass black ...

But it likely won't fall in. An artist's rendering of a white dwarf star speeding around the black hole 1ES 1927+654. A stream of particles trails the dense star. Credit: Aurore Simonnet / Sonoma ...

Recent discoveries by the James Webb Space Telescope reveal that supermassive black holes were present much earlier than ...

Using IRAS and NuSTAR telescopes, scientists identify hundreds of obscured black holes hidden behind gas and dust.

"The Spiderweb protocluster is an ideal laboratory for investigating the relationship between black holes and star formation in detail." NASA's James Webb Space Telescope found evidence that ...

Now, though, NASA has actually watched a black hole eat a star. To get a good view of the event, NASA used multiple of its space telescopes to observe the black hole as it ate the star.

The weird outbursts of a distant supermassive black hole may be caused by a death-defying white dwarf walking a cosmic tight ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope found evidence that supermassive black holes suppress star formation in maturing galaxies. The team used the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) Near Infrared Camera ...
