Artist's impression of a supermassive black hole surrounded by gas and dust in four different wavelengths of light. Visible light (top right) and low-energy X-rays (bottom left) are blocked by the gas ...

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

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

Data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory reveals that black holes can cool gas to the proper temperature for a cosmic feast ...

After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.

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 ...

Caltech’s Katie Bouman explains how the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration captured the first imager of the Sagittarius A* Supermassive black hole at the core of the Milky Way galaxy - Milky Way vs ...

Black holes that have been obscured by clouds of dust still emit infrared light, enabling astronomers to spot them for the very first time ...

An Illustration shows a supermassive black hole at the heart of a region called an AGN (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech) One possible explanation for this is that supermassive black holes in the ...

Though supermassive black holes grow faster in early galaxies, star formation catches up, leading to the 1:100 mass ratio seen today. This doesn't yet confirm rapid growth theories over other ...
