Then, they pieced together a record of the X-ray light produced by a supermassive black hole in the Andromeda galaxy called M31 star or M31*. Their research provides insight into the unique ...

Created as a tribute to dark matter pioneer Vera Rubin, the image was created with the aid of a vast array of telescopes.

AUSTIN, Texas — Astronomers have used the Hubble Space Telescope to see closer to the center in our neighboring Andromeda galaxy than in any other galaxy except our own. In doing so, they ...

Scientists have found evidence of remarkably long dust streams spiraling in toward the supermassive black hole living at the heart of our neighboring galaxy, Andromeda. It would appear that these ...

Two supermassive black holes recently spotted in a picture of the Andromeda galaxy are the closest orbiting pair ever discovered—and could be on course for a catastrophic cosmic collision in as ...

Astronomers have discovered 26 new likely black holes in the neighboring Andromeda galaxy — the largest haul of black hole candidates ever found in a galaxy apart from our own.

Close-up view of supermassive black holes in NGC 7727. ESO They're just 1,600 light-years apart, which is incredibly close on a cosmic scale, and they're expected to crash in some 250 million ...

But there is a way to do it: take another galaxy, one that’s more massive than at least the supermassive black hole you’re asking about, one that very likely also has its own supermassive ...

However, supermassive black holes heat the gas and [as we show] eject it from the galaxy, where it can no longer form significant numbers of stars," D'Eugenio said.
