After losing out on Dan Hurley, Los Angeles reportedly interviewed JJ Redick for the head coaching gig this weekend. But hiring the podcaster won’t distract from the fact that the old way of doing things doesn’t work anymore.
NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope might reveal previously undetected “featherweight” black holes with masses similar to Earth’s. These primordial black holes, formed in the...
Angela Rayner was spotted wearing the Marvel superhero socks featuring comic book characters Thor and Black Panther while taking a break from canvassing in West Lothian.
One of the main scientific objectives of next-generation observatories (like the James Webb Space Telescope) has been to observe the first galaxies in the Universe – those that existed at Cosmic Dawn. This period is when the first stars,…
Michigan State University researchers have made important discoveries about the supermassive black hole at our galaxy’s center, presenting their findings based on NuSTAR X-ray data....
The supermassive black hole at the heart of our Milky Way Galaxy is a quiet monster. However, Sagittarius A* (or Sgr A* for short) is not totally dormant. Occasionally it gobbles down a blob of molecular gas or even a star and then suffers…
Observational astronomy shows that newly discovered young stellar objects (YSOs) in the immediate vicinity of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* located in the center of our galaxy behave differently than expected. They describe…
Ancient starlight from the earliest quasars has been captured by MIT astronomers, revealing that some of earliest “monster” black holes likely grew from massive cosmic...
The nearby quasar dubbed "I Zwicky 1" has unique qualities and is a great place to investigate extreme circumstances surrounding active galactic nuclei (AGN). Continue reading to learn more.
Hubble has mapped the outflow "burps" of a nearby feeding supermassive black hole-powered quasar for the first time, measuring speeds of 6.5 million mph, around 8,500 times the speed of sound.
Several international research groups have already confirmed the theory that there are two black holes at the center of the distant galaxy OJ 287, first suggested by astronomers at the University of Turku, Finland. A new study shows that…
