Black Holes

New James Webb Space Telescope observations reveal that the galaxy GS-9209 had its star-forming power abruptly "quenched" by mysterious forces after millions of years of productivity.

The Hubble Space Telescope has spotted a runaway supermassive black hole racing through space followed by a tail of infant stars 200,000 light-years long.

A distant galaxy is alone because it devoured the other galaxies that once surrounded it, a new study suggests.

Two battling quasars powered by supermassive black holes are lighting the center of merging galaxies seen during "cosmic noon" in the early universe.

The 'Hawking radiation' emitted by black holes may be able to carry information after all, a new solution to Stephen Hawking's famous paradox suggests.

Astronomers have discovered two new black holes that are the closest to Earth ever found and represent a new type of binary system.

Astronomers are redefining a galaxy whose black hole jet changed directions by 90 degrees.

Astronomers have just discovered what may be the largest black hole known to date.

The brightest gamma-ray burst ever seen blinded all of NASA's flagship gamma-ray missions last year. This tiny Eastern European cubesat, however, didn't get overwhelmed.

"The BOAT"' was about 70 times brighter than any other gamma-ray burst that scientists have observed, a new study reports.

Scientists watched as two stars slowed in their orbits around black holes, concluding it was the result of "drag" generated by dark matter.

New research investigates how relativistic jets from a supermassive black hole has been shaping the Teacup Galaxy, giving it its iconic handle.

Two pairs of giant black holes set to collide have been spotted by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, the first evidence of such a cosmic collision.

If wormholes exist, they might magnify distant objects according to Einstein's theory of relativity — and that makes it possible for us to find them, new research suggests.

A rare supermassive black hole found hiding at the dawn of the universe could indicate that there were thousands more of the ravenous monsters stalking the early cosmos.

Astronomers are observing the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy tearing apart a strange dust cloud in real time.

Astronomers have discovered a "runaway" black hole, potentially the first observational evidence that supermassive black holes can be ejected from their host galaxies.

A new model suggests how gravitational waves created by the collision between black holes spread and interact within the fabric of space-time.

Astronomers using the Event Horizon Telescope were able to see a supermassive blackhole powering a super bright quasar at the heart of a distant galaxy.
