Image of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration "has ...

Smaller black holes tend to attract less material, making them naturally dimmer. Chandra would miss many of these faint ...

Astronomers watched as a black hole whipped up cosmic winds that shot material into space at 37,280 miles per second (60,000 ...

“The supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way has not only the capability to destroy stars but it can also ...

Intermediate mass black holes (IMBH), if they exist, have between about 100 and 1,000 solar masses, placing them in between ...

Omega Centauri dominates the southern sky as the Milky Way's largest and brightest globular cluster, a dense sphere ...

Astronomers have discovered 53 new supermassive black hole-powered quasars that are blasting out jets of matter at near light ...

New Chandra X-ray study finds many dwarf galaxies may not host central massive black holes, challenging long-held assumptions about galaxy formation and black hole origins ...

NGC 6278 and PGC 039620 are two galaxies from a sample of 1,600 that were searched for the presence of supermassive black ...

Dusty stars close to the Milky Way’s black hole stay stable for years. New infrared data shows they survive gravity and ...

The two galaxies shown here, NGC 6278 and PGC 039620, are representative of the more than 1,600 galaxies analyzed in a new study. Both galaxies are ...

"In order to get such high sensitivity in the mid-infrared, one needs to go to space, as the atmosphere severely messes up ground-based observations at this wavelength." Astronomers have used the ...
