Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are among the most energetic phenomena observed in the universe. These luminous objects, powered ...

By combining data from NASA’s IRAS and NuSTAR telescopes, scientists have uncovered more hidden supermassive black holes than earlier estimates suggested. Their findings indicate that over a third of ...

NASA's Fermi Telescope visualizes gamma rays from the blazar 3C 279, revealing high-energy processes near supermassive black holes. NASA's simulation shows a supermassive black hole, illustrating ...

Black holes might all have hearts of pure darkness, but many cloak themselves in rings of fire that blaze like little else in ...

Twin jets erupt from a supermassive black hole in Draco, offering new insights into black hole activity and evolution.

Scientists have found that supermassive black holes self-grow by regulating the cooling of surrounding hot gas, forming warm ...

Space experts have uncovered a massive swarm of new supermassive black holes that could blow theories about galaxies wide open. A team of scientists using data from two NASA telescopes revealed ...

Black holes ... that is run by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, and can detect the high-energy X-rays emitted by the superheated matter swirling around black holes.

NASA created a haunting audio clip of sound waves rippling out of a supermassive black hole, located 250 million light-years away. The black hole is at the center of the Perseus cluster of galaxies, ...

A black hole is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape, formed from collapsed massive stars. Black holes form when massive stars collapse under their ...
