Astronomers have discovered powerful X-ray jets from two ancient supermassive black holes being illuminated by the afterglow of the Big Bang.

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding supermassive black hole.

The earliest and most distant supermassive black hole discovered thus far by JWST is CEERS 1019, which existed just 570 ...

One of the most perplexing discoveries in modern astronomy has been finding supermassive black holes, some weighing billions ...

Chandra X-ray Observatory and X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) imagery of the Milky Way's core and supermassive black hole ...

His research will investigate how supermassive black holes, or SMBHs, were "seeded" in the early universe. Seeding refers to the formation of an initial small black hole that grows—either by accreting ...

Researchers say there are far more supermassive black holes out there than we previously suspected, and they're starting to find them.

Using this technique, they discovered that the black hole Sagittarius A* is spinning at nearly its maximum speed, and that its rotation axis is pointing toward Earth. This discovery challenges some ...

Researchers have observed strange goings-on around a supermassive black hole located nearly 300 million light years away.
