Some Supermassive Black Holes (SMBHs) consume vast quantities of gas and dust, triggering brilliant light shows that can outshine an entire galaxy. But others are much more sedate, emitting faint but steady light from their home in the…
By the end of this year, 33 of the UK's parliamentary constituencies will be without a single bank branch - including both Sedgefield in County Durham and Erith and Thamesmead in London.
A team of astrophysicists from the University of Oxford, Newcastle University and the Institute of Astronomy, all in the U.K., working with a colleague from the University of Virginia, in the U.S., has found evidence showing that Albert…
In a speech, Jeremy Hunt hailed the upturn in the economy and said he was keen to 'go further' on trimming national insurance if it was possible to do so responsibly.
Scientists have managed to capture the first known instance of black holes smashing in to each other through a $10 billion piece of kit that 'travels through time'.
Einstein's general theory of relativity predicted that so-called 'plunging regions' around black holes would accelerate matter into them at the speed of light. Now, X-ray observations of a remote black hole have proved him right.
A long time ago, in two galaxies far, far away, two massive black holes merged. This happened when the Universe was only 740 million years old. A team of astronomers used JWST to study this event, the most distant (and earliest) detection…
The merging black holes were detected just around 13 billion light-years away. Read to learn more. With the help of the powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers were able to find the most distant duo of merging black holes…
New observations with the James Webb Space Telescope reveal the most distant pair of merging black holes ever spotted. The discovery further challenges leading theories of cosmology.
Physicists consider black holes one of the most mysterious objects that exist. Ironically, they're also considered one of the simplest. For years, physicists like me have been looking to prove that black holes are more complex than they…
The Webb Space Telescope has made a new discovery, detecting the earliest known merger of black holes. One of the black holes is 50 million times more massive than the sun.
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected a merger between two supermassive black holes so distant it proceeded just 740 million years after the Big Bang.
