Black holes

NASA's Chandra X-ray space telescope has spotted the cosmic serial killer that, like Michael Myers, is back for a sequel, killing a star and attacking a second star with its remains.

The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted the earliest supermassive black hole-driven quasar wind ever seen, pushing away matter at 6,000 times the speed of sound and killing its host galaxy.

Hubble Space Telescope observations suggest supermassive black hole jets double the frequency of nova explosions. But how?

Could dark matter decay have given massive clouds of hydrogen gas the time they needed to birth supermassive black holes seen by the James Webb Space Telescope?

Using the Dark Energy Camera, astronomers discovered that black-hole-powered quasars in the early universe lived in dense neighborhoods, but were "bad neighbors."

Astronomers have discovered a "missing link:" a tiny black hole lurking with a red giant star in a strange and difficult-to-explain binary system.

The first results from JAXA's XRISM X-ray telescope are out, and they reveal new features of the superheated gas around a distant supermassive black hole and a closer supernova.

Astronomers have seen the largest jets ever found erupting from a black hole. The giant jet system Porphyrion is 23 million light-years long, equal to 140 side-by-side Milky Way galaxies.

"If there are lots of black holes out there, some of them must surely pass through our backyard every now and then."

Using the James Webb Space Telescope astronomers have observed a supermassive black hole "killing" its galaxy by starving it of the material needed to birth new stars.
