It's nicknamed Jetty McJetface.

Black holes themselves emit no light, but the matter spiralling into them forms a hot, dense accretion disc that radiates ...

Physicists have not yet watched a black hole literally blow itself apart, but they are closing in on the conditions where ...

A newly identified quasar shows sustained growth beyond the Eddington limit, prompting new examination of accretion physics, radiation trapping and jet activity in early supermassive black holes.

What: New analyses using early observations from the European Space Agency’s Euclid mission examine how galaxy mergers trigger active galactic nuclei (AGN), luminou ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. These are rare occurrences—scientists estimate that the giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy gobbles a star ...

This image shows the gas density in a two-dimensional cross-section of an accreting black hole. Brighter areas represent regions of higher density. Near the black hole, the accretion flow forms a ...

New simulations show flickering black hole signals arise from unstable shocks inside accretion discs, revealing how matter ...

A supermassive black hole in the far reaches of the Universe has been found guzzling down material at one of the fastest rates ever seen. At the heart of a quasar galaxy called RACS J0320-35, just 920 ...

Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark ...

New models explain how small black holes in the early universe beat the clock and grew into massive objects within millions ...
