Gigantic black holes lurk at the center of virtually every galaxy, including ours, but we've lacked a precise picture of what ...
Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark ...
A new study has connected the famous m87 black hole, the first ever imaged, to its powerful cosmic jet, revealing how it ...
There is a lot we have yet to understand about the center of the Milky Way—could it be due to a mass of invisible dark matter?
Outflows of matter are general features stemming from systems powered by compact objects such as black holes, active galactic nuclei, pulsar wind nebulae, accreting objects such as Young Stellar ...
New data from the James Webb Space Telescope may solve a riddle from the universe’s beginnings. A compact, distant object called “The Cliff” appears to show that many of the mysterious “little red ...
The sharpest black hole collision ever detected just gave Einstein another win—and raised hopes that the next one might rewrite gravity.
"It is amazing to see that we are gradually moving towards combining these breakthrough observations across multiple frequencies and completing the picture of the jet launching region." ...
"They look like a [developing] butterfly or something in this young state that kind of grows wrapped in some sort of gas that also feeds it." The post Galactic Monsters Grew in Cocoons Like Giant Bugs ...
As federal funding cuts impact decades of research, scientists could turn to black holes for cheaper, natural alternatives to expensive facilities searching for dark matter and similarly elusive ...
The field of astrophysics continues to probe the extreme regimes of matter and gravity through studies of neutron stars and black holes. These compact objects, forged in the aftermath of stellar ...
