Eragon feels like a timeless classic, a YA reimagining of The Lord of The Rings. It’s the story a young man’s quest to defeat ...

The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.

Compact ruddy galaxies seen by the James Webb telescope confound astronomers. Having very little spin at birth may explain the galaxies’ small sizes.

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

Could Mysterious Black Hole Burps Rewrite Physics?

Most galaxies around the size of the Milky Way or larger have a supermassive black hole skulking in their center. Each of these black holes can be millions or even billions of times more massive ...

For now, the study offers a fresh, easy-to-state possibility: the universe may not have exploded out of nothing at all. It might have sprung back from a cosmic crunch, hidden inside a black-hole womb.

In their new book Supermassive: Black Holes at the Beginning and End of the Universe, physicists James Trefil and Shobita Satyapal take an approachable look at black holes, covering both the ...

New work estimates that the number of supermassive black holes so entrenched in dust and gas that no X-ray light can escape is around 35 percent, but it could be as high as 44 percent.

Just like the hypothetical supermassive black hole binary in the model, AT 2021hdr would accrete large amounts of material every time the black holes were halfway through orbiting each other and ...

The giant holes in galaxies’ centers shouldn’t be able to merge, yet merge they do. Scientists suggest that an unusual form of dark matter may be the solution. Galaxies have been merging into ...

The simulations showed that the supermassive black hole heart can pulse, creating high pressure in the jets — almost like a human suffering from high blood pressure, or "hypertension." ...
