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

A galaxy 2.5 million light-years away can be seen in Massachusetts. The best times to see the Andromeda Galaxy might be in late September and early October. This is when the Andromeda galaxy can be ...

A supermassive black hole is tearing through space at 2.2 million miles per hour, leaving behind a 200,000-light-year trail of newborn stars in its wake. The James Webb Space Telescope confirmed the ...

A stellar black hole is one that’s created from the gravitational collapse of particularly massive stars, typically greater than eight solar masses. For context, one solar mass is about equivalent to ...

Astronomers report a supergiant star in the Andromeda Galaxy, M31-2014-DS1, collapsed directly into a black hole without a supernova, confirming predictions of failed stellar explosions.

The NASA/JAXA X-ray spacecraft has allowed astronomers to dive into the metaphorical "eye of the storm" swirling around ...

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

Intense radiation emitted by active supermassive black holes—thought to reside at the center of most, if not all, galaxies—can slow star growth not just in their host galaxy, but also in galaxies ...

Supermassive black holes have been found at the center of almost every galaxy, sucking up anything unlucky to fall into its maw — including light itself — through unfathomable gravitational forces.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Black holes usually form from stars that burn out and collapse in on themselves, but that cannot explain the red spark of light that could be a ...

Computer simulations carried out by astronomers from the University of Groningen in collaboration with researchers from Germany, France and Sweden show that most of the (dark) matter beyond the Local ...

The knowledge that the galaxies in this Universe have black holes at their centers came to us gradually, like all things that have to do with space, starting in the 1970s. In the time that has passed ...
