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

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

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

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

The black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy is 1000 times more massive than Sagittarius A*. Watch views of both captured ...

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 ...

United States President Donald Trump ordered the construction of a 30,000-bed facility at the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base in ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

NASA created a haunting audio clip of sound waves rippling out of a supermassive black hole, located 250 million light-years away. The black hole is at the center of the Perseus cluster of galaxies, ...

Additionally, the team's method suggests the spin patterns of these black holes could reveal the region of space in which they were born. Even human DNA tests can't tell you what hospital a baby ...
