Recently, astronomers focused on a galaxy 270 million light years away, which hosts a supermassive black hole known as 1ES 1927+654. The black hole, researchers have now observed, has been ...

Even more surprisingly, the black hole that powers the quasar from which this jet erupts, designated J1601+3102, is relatively small. (For a quasar-powering supermassive black hole, that is.

In the case of those first detections, the signal was produced by pairs of black holes within our galaxy that had been ... to result from orbiting pairs of supermassive black holes millions ...
