supermassive black hole

A dazzling new James Webb telescope image of the region near the Milky Way's central black hole reveals thousands of newborn stars among the "most extreme cosmic environment" in the galaxy.

The newly identified quasar, observed 13.7 billion light-years away by the James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory, could be an example of a heavy black hole "seed" in the early universe.

Astronomers have spotted two huge jets fired off by the 'monster' black hole M87 wobbling on an 11-year cycle, proving for the first time that black holes spin.

Researchers accidentally stumbled on a way to measure the size of the accretion disks of dust, gas and plasma that surround black holes.

NASA has identified a supermassive black hole blasting its energetic jets straight toward Earth. Don't worry, though, this blazar is located 400 million light-years away.

The Milky Way's black hole, known as Sagittarius A*, briefly flared at least a million times brighter 200 years ago.

The first complete image of a black hole and its jet has captured a never-before-seen view of how the cosmic monster traps and spits out matter.

Scientists watched as a three-quasar system merged in a supercomputer simulation of the universe to birth a black hole 300 billion times as massive as the sun.

A strange blob has been seen rapidly circling our galaxy's central black hole. Now, astronomers have identified it as the exploded debris from two merging stars.

The event could help astronomers figure out how supermassive black holes are born
