"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 ...
Jets from black holes trigger cooling in the hot gas, causing it to condense into warm filaments. These filaments then flow toward the black hole, feeding it, and the cycle repeats. Brightness ...

The manner in which black black holes grow, feed, and sustain themselves has perplexed astronomers for decades. These cosmic giants exert immense gravitational pull, consuming matter that drifts too ...
Supermassive black holes are often regarded as sources of wanton cosmic destruction, but there may be more to their powerful influence than first meets the eye. Researchers studied data from the ...
A strange black hole is making scientists scratch their heads. The distant object, dubbed "1ES 1927+654" and packing the mass of 1 million suns, previously stunned astronomers when its corona ...
