Scientists have discovered that active supermassive black holes don't just kill their home galaxies, but can also eradicate star formation for their neighbors.

Scientists have spotted the brightest flare yet from a supermassive black hole that shines with the light of 10 trillion suns. These bursts of light and energy can come from things like tangled-up ...

Webb telescope data confirm a supermassive black hole fleeing its galaxy, carving a 200,000 light-year wake of new stars.

A new simulation could help solve one of astronomy’s longstanding mysteries—how supermassive black holes formed so rapidly—along with a new one: What are the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) ...

WASHINGTON >> Scientists are observing the most energetic flare ever seen emanating from a supermassive black hole, apparently caused when this celestial beast shredded and swallowed a huge star that ...

Scientists may have solved a cosmic mystery that has been troubling them since the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) began observations back in 2022. When astronomers started looking back into the ...

An artist's concept of a tidal disruption event (TDE), which happens when a star passes close to a supermassive black hole. The gravity of the black hole pulls material from the star and launches a ...

For the first time, astronomers have detected intense, fast-changing radio signals from a tidal disruption event, dubbed AT2024tvd, located outside its galaxy’s core. Now, astronomers are trying to ...

When the James Webb Space Telescope sent its first high-definition infrared images back to Earth, astronomers noticed several tiny, glowing, crimson stains. These objects, quickly named “Little Red ...
