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

Astronomers propose that an ultra-dense clump of exotic dark matter could be masquerading as the powerful object thought to ...

Imagine a jet of energy so powerful that it makes even Star Wars’ Death Star look tiny. That’s reportedly what astronomers ...

A jet of charged particles moving at almost the speed of light, made from the remnants of a star that was brutally ripped ...

The canonical image of a supermassive spacetime abyss anchored at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*, is challenged by ...

For decades, the motions of stars near the center of our Milky Way Galaxy have been treated as some of the clearest evidence ...

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

Astronomers have continued to monitor it ever since. Far from fading again, the TDE has grown 50 times brighter, and that brightness continues to increase. The black hole’s energy emission might not ...

Black holes are powerful space objects that can pull in nearby stars. But how does this really happen? In this kid-friendly science explainer, learn how black holes stretch, heat and slowly “eat” ...

The first black hole ever photographed is no longer just a static ring of darkness. Astronomers have now traced a colossal ...

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

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