Researchers have observed strange goings-on around a supermassive black hole located nearly 300 million light years away.

Astronomers are very familiar with the twin jets launched from the poles of supermassive black holes. These structures can ...

Twin jets erupt from a supermassive black hole in Draco, offering new insights into black hole activity and evolution.

Plasma jets erupting from a supermassive black hole in galaxy 1ES 1927+654 provide new insights into jet formation.

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

Astronomers have observed unprecedented X-ray flashes and unusual behavior from the supermassive black hole 1ES 1927+654, located approximately 270 million light-years away in the constellation Draco.

In 2018, a distant black hole threw a fit. The 1.4-million-solar-mass black hole at the center of the galaxy 1ES 1927+654 some 270 million light-years away suddenly began spewing radiation ...

Active galaxy 1ES 1927+654, circled, has exhibited extraordinary changes since 2018, when a major outburst occurred in visible, ultraviolet, and X-ray light. The galaxy harbors a central black ...

"This tells us that objects like white dwarfs may be able to live very close to an event horizon for a relatively extended period of time." Using the XMM-Newton X-ray telescope, astronomers have ...

In this artist’s rendering, a stream of matter trails a white dwarf orbiting within the innermost accretion disk surrounding 1ES 1927’s supermassive black hole. One supermassive black hole has ...

In 2018, a galaxy about 270 million light-years away from Earth exhibited a major increase in activity. It quieted down again by 2020 -- only to dramatically increase its output again in 2023.
