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

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

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

A distant supermassive black hole has stunned astronomers by expelling matter at speeds nearing a third of light velocity after consuming material at an extreme rate.

Five of the mergers have over a 95 percent chance of producing a remnant above the 100‑solar‑mass threshold, making them the heaviest gravitational‑wave sources on record. Lite intermediate-mass black ...

For decades, scientists have believed there should be black holes that fall between two well-known types. On one end are stellar-mass black holes, formed by collapsing stars, with masses between 5 ...

Supermassive black holes are some of the densest objects found within our universe. These cosmic objects are so heavy that they often weigh billions of … The post Turns out supermassive black ...

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 ...

A new census reveals that 35% of supermassive black holes are hidden behind dust, disrupting major galactic models.
