Tracking down black holes at the center of dwarf galaxies has proven difficult. In part it is because they have a tendency to ...

With its sharp observation and wide-field view, Euclid has already found more than 1.2 million large galaxies and obtained details of their morphology.

At the center of a galaxy 10 billion light-years away, a supermassive black hole is the new record holder for brightest flare ...

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

Even though the black hole in the galactic core is millions of times bigger than the sun, you don't have to worry about ...

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.

Scientists have long been aware of the massive elliptical galaxy, M87. The galaxy was first observed in the late 18th century by Charles Messier, who cataloged objects in the sky specifically to avoid ...

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 ...

In a recent piece for my column The Universe, I wrote about the biggest black holes in the cosmos. These can tip the scales at many billions of times the sun’s mass, outweighing even entire galaxies.
