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

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.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured young stars in Lupus 3, a star-forming cloud 500 light-years away, showing T Tauri stars and gas structures in the Scorpius constellation.

The James Webb Space Telescope snapped its sharpest image of the area around a black hole, solving a long-standing galactic mystery.

While this eerie NASA Hubble Space Telescope image may look ghostly, it’s actually full of new life. Lupus 3 is a star-forming cloud about 500 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius. White ...
