The first results from JAXA's XRISM X-ray telescope are out, and they reveal new features of the superheated gas around a distant supermassive black hole and a closer supernova.

The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) has revealed the structure, motion and temperature of the material around a supermassive black hole and in a supernova remnant in unprecedented detail. Astronomers presented the first…

Auditors have told the council that an 'urgent' transformation of services is needed.

Tiny black hole "bullets" left over from the Big Bang could be passing through Mars at speeds in excess of 7,000 times the speed of sound, causing the Red Planet to "wobble."

EXCLUSIVE: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer today refused to rule out taking other steps to curb public spending and wouldn't speculate on what would be unveiled in Rachel Reeves' budget next month.

New research suggests that black holes may actually be "frozen stars," bizarre quantum objects that lack a singularity and an event horizon, potentially solving some of the biggest paradoxes in black hole physics.

That's equivalent to lining up 140 Milky Way galaxies back to back.

This is fine.

The largest known black hole jets, 23 million light years across, have been discovered in the distant universe. This pair of particle beams launched by a supermassive black hole is over a hundred times larger than our galaxy, the Milky Way.

Talk about a giant in the universe.

Astronomers have identified the largest black hole jet structure known, named Porphyrion, stretching 23 million light-years across, akin to 140 Milky Way galaxies aligned. This discovery, emerging from a galaxy about 10 times the mass of…

The new result can help scientists understand how supermassive black holes were created.

Astronomers have spotted the biggest pair of black hole jets ever seen, spanning 23 million light-years in total length. That's equivalent to lining up 140 Milky Way galaxies back to back.

Supermassive black hole shoot jets of high-energy particles and magnetic fields into space from their two poles as they devour material such as gas, dust and stars falling into them due to their immense gravitational strength.

Scientists have discovered a record-breaking pair of jets streaming from a black hole in a distant galaxy. The jets shooting hot plasma are the largest ever spotted—about as long as 140 Milky Way galaxies lined up end-to-end, the AP…
