A brief X-ray flare from a supermassive black hole generated ultra fast winds in less than a day. The discovery links black hole activity with solar-style magnetic eruptions and sheds light on galactic evolution. An international group of…

Study confirms general relativity predictions as Einstein foretold more than 100 years ago.

A strange X-ray signal spotted decades ago may be the result of a star that got attacked by two black holes, one after the other.

An international team of astronomers observed a sudden outburst of matter near the supermassive black hole NGC 3783 at speeds reaching up to 20% of the speed of light. During a ten-day observation, mainly with the XRISM space telescope,…

Rachel Reeves pointedly refused to repeat the explicit guarantee she gave - and then broke - in the wake of her first eye-watering raid last year.

The early universe was a pretty intense place to be. And not just “early” as in a few billion years ago. I mean early early, just a few seconds after the Big Bang. The universe is small, less than a meter across. It’s hot, with…

Astronomers using two of the world’s best X-ray observatories have witnessed a dramatic and extremely fast outburst from a supermassive black hole in the spiral galaxy NGC 3783.

The European Space Agency's Euclid telescope has delivered an unprecedented set of observations of one million galaxies that shows that galaxy collisions play a dominant role in awakening supermassive black holes from their sleep. Using…

Black Hole blast unleashes ultra-fast winds at one-fifth the speed of light Astronomers have caught...

"This is certainly an outburst unlike any other we've seen in the past 50 years."

NASA has created an animation to show what likely happened on July 2nd after a black hole appeared to shred a star. For months, space scientists scratched their heads and crunched the data. Then on Monday, December 8th, NASA reported it…

The European Space Agency said that the black hole inside the spiral galaxy NGC 3783 has the mass of 30 million suns.

Some 48.5 million Americans aged 12 and above have a substance use disorder, according to a 2023 SAMHSA report.

A sudden X-ray flare from a supermassive black hole in galaxy NGC 3783 triggered ultra-fast winds racing outward at a fifth the speed of light—an event never witnessed before. Using XMM-Newton and XRISM, astronomers caught the blast unfold…

A new Healthwatch England survey shows that 14% of GP referrals for specialist care are delayed, lost, or rejected, leaving thousands of patients waiting indefinitely for treatment.

In other words, the matter traveled at 20% the speed of light.

Astronomers watched as a black hole whipped up cosmic winds that shot material into space at 37,280 miles per second (60,000 km/s) - one fifth of light speed.

At the same time that Vera Rubin was turning cosmology upside down with conclusive evidence for the existence of dark matter, Stephen Hawking was doing…Stephen Hawking things.
