Stars are gravitationally fastened to their galaxies and move in concert with their surroundings. But sometimes, something ...
Money, engineering, and sheer geometry may mark an end of the line for building ever larger astronomical telescopes ...
The supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*, is spinning rapidly and altering space-time around it, a new study has found.
Something near the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way has been firing regular blasts of high-energy gamma-rays toward Earth, and scientists may finally know what it is. In new ...

This energy flowing out of the black hole comes in the form of a "million-light-year-long Jedi lightsabers", or more specifically called relativistic jets. "If you took the Earth, turned it all ...
Two months ago, this particular supermassive black hole roughly 55 million light-years from Earth, known as M87*, was studied using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), which combines data from ...
Blazars are feeding supermassive black holes that sit at the hearts of active galaxies, blasting out enormous jets of radiation and matter. But unlike quasars, the cosmic twin of a blazar, these ...

Black holes are some of the most mysterious and powerful forces in the universe, but what if that power could be harnessed? Well, that’s exactly what researchers from Tianjin University ...
Black holes across the universe are losing enormous amounts of energy, and it could be due to magnetic fields slowing their spin. Understanding this process could help solve the long-standing ...
