A new form of black hole archeology, linking spin to gas and dust, has revealed that these cosmic titans spin faster than ...

How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 ...

Surprisingly, the black hole driving this colossal jet is modest by quasar standards, weighing 450 million times the mass of the sun. This discovery challenges long-held assumptions about the ...

Researchers said on Thursday that they had discovered twin-lobed radio jets they suspect were formed when the universe was ...

"Interestingly, the quasar powering this massive radio jet does not have an extreme black hole mass compared to other quasars." Astronomers have detected the largest black hole-launched jet ever ...

The team behind new research on the topic suggests that measuring whether gravitational waves from black hole mergers are right- or left-handed can tell us if the Cosmological Principle — an ...

Supermassive black holes can fuel their own growth by cooling and recycling gas, creating a continuous cycle of feeding and ...

Black holes are objects with an intense gravitational ... the contortions of which produce awesome light shows. In 2015, when we detected gravitational waves for the first time, the observed ...

WASHINGTON, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Scientists have detected emanating from the nucleus of a galaxy relatively close to our Milky Way flashes of X-rays gradually increasing in frequency that seem to be ...
