ESA’s Euclid telescope provides remarkable insights into formation of galaxies and supermassive black holes
With its sharp observation and wide-field view, Euclid has already found more than 1.2 million large galaxies and obtained ...
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.
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Black holes usually form from stars that burn out and collapse in on themselves, but that cannot explain the red spark of light that could be a ...
Abstract: Black hole binaries (BHBs) The research analyzes M87 in great detail through a detailed examination of multiple FITS files which contain astronomical data. The astropy library enables us to ...
Astronomers have discovered what could be the largest black hole ever detected. With a mass of 36 billion times that of our Sun, its gravity is so powerful that it bends the light of an entire galaxy ...
