Euclid telescope data shows merging galaxies are 2–6 times more likely to host active supermassive black holes, revealing how ...

The X‑arithmetic technique offers a powerful new way to map the physics of other galactic structures across the universe and ...

Scientists have confirmed that colossal collisions between galaxies trigger titanic eruptions in the centers of those galaxies, and the discovery is thanks to an artificial intelligence tool that was ...

NASA’s Chandra telescope uses a new X-arithmetic method to compare X-ray energies and show how supermassive black holes shape galaxy clusters and galaxy groups, revealing differences in gas movement a ...

On a scale that stretches human intuition, a distant supermassive black hole has hurled matter into space at 134 million ...

Space itself is scary enough—dark, vast, cold and empty—but galaxies have all manner of terrifying beasts lurking inside. Most of these astrophysical monsters are stars with various behavioral issues, ...

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 ...

Scientists observed a supermassive black hole in galaxy NGC 3783 releasing wind at 20% of the speed of light after a sudden X-ray flare. New data from XRISM and XMM-Newton explains how magnetic activi ...

Astronomers have detected the first tidal disruption event (TDE), designated AT2024tvd, occurring 2,600 light-years outside its host galaxy's core, exhibiting intense, rapidly evolving radio signals.

"This is like a cosmic lighthouse lit by a wandering black hole." New research suggests that not all feeding massive black holes sit stably at the heart of their home galaxies. A team of astronomers ...
