"Once you consider magnetic fields, you can actually explain the origins of this unique event." Scientists have gotten to the ...

The black hole was bigger than expected, and while the answer was hiding in plain sight, it still rewrites what we thought ...

In 2017, the EHT collaboration yielded the first-ever image of a supermassive black hole at the center of the Messier 87 ...

A class of University of Texas astronomy students has discovered that nearby dwarf galaxy Segue-1 seems to host a ...

Astronomers have detected the first tidal disruption event (TDE), designated AT2024tvd, occurring 2,600 light-years outside its host galaxy's core, exhibiting intense, rapidly evolving radio signals.

A century after astronomers first spotted the colossal jet blasting from the black hole at the heart of the galaxy M87, a new look has brought it into startling focus. Using infrared observations, ...

A galaxy 2.5 million light-years away can be seen in Massachusetts. The best times to see the Andromeda Galaxy might be in late September and early October. This is when the Andromeda galaxy can be ...

More than a century ago, astronomer Heber Curtis spotted the first black hole jet – a vast stream of superheated plasma from the supermassive behemoth that sits at the centre of galaxy M87. Now, the ...

Astronomers detected a black hole displaced nearly a kiloparsec from the center of a dwarf galaxy 230 million light-years away. Unlike most, it is actively feeding and producing radio jets, making it ...

The magnetic field swirling around an enormous black hole, located about 55 million light-years from Earth, has unexpectedly switched directions. This dramatic reversal challenges theories of black ...
