Latest about supermassive black hole
Watch a star get destroyed by a supermassive black hole in the 1st simulation of its kind
Stars that wander too close to supermassive black holes may be violently undone in a process called "spaghettification." New simulations provide the most detailed look ever at the gory interaction.
Milky Way's rarest black hole may lurk behind 7 stars that 'shouldn't be there'
Seven strangely-behaving stars in the Milky Way's Omega Centauri cluster may be under the influence of an extremely rare type of black hole, new research suggests.
James Webb Space Telescope sees an ancient black hole dance with colliding galaxies
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have witnessed the dramatic dance between a supermassive black hole-powered quasar and merging galaxies less than a billion years after the Big Bang.
James Webb telescope spies bejeweled 'Einstein ring' made of warped quasar light
New photos from the James Webb Space Telescope show off the bewitching beauty of the warped quasar RX J1131-1231, which is adorned with four bright spots birthed by mind-bending space-time trickery.
This impossibly massive black hole wasn't very hungry during the dawn of time
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered an improbably huge black hole near the dawn of time, which doesn't seem to be eating near as much as it should.
'Immortal' stars at the Milky Way's center may have found an endless energy source, study suggests
Strange stars clustered near the Milky Way's center are much younger than theory predicts is possible. New research suggests their youth could actually be eternal — and fueled by annihilating dark matter.
Baby stars that defy explanation are 'swarming like bees' around Milky Way's supermassive black hole
A new analysis of inexplicably young stars orbiting extremely close to the Milky Way's black hole heart reveals that they orbit around the gigantic structure in a surprisingly organized way, similar to swarming insects like bees.
Black hole 'traffic jams' are forcing cosmic monsters to collide, new study finds
Supermassive black holes may create conditions akin to "cosmic intersections with failed traffic lights" that make collisions between smaller stellar-mass black holes inevitable.
Explosive black hole flare from the center of our galaxy reconstructed from 'a single flickering pixel' using AI and Einstein's equations
An explosive flare from the Milky Way's central black hole has been translated from 'a single flickering pixel' into a detailed 3D model using AI and Einstein's general relativity equations.
Milky Way's monster black hole may be shooting superheated jets into our galaxy, groundbreaking images reveal
A new polarized light image of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* has given us our first clear look at the magnetic field of the cosmic juggernaut, which suggests that it may have superheated jets just like even larger black holes.
