Black holes, regions of space where gravity is so intense that even light cannot escape, have captivated astronomers for decades. Some are the result of stellar death while others sit at the hearts of quasars, galaxies that shine so…

Black hole mergers are some of the most violent events in the universe. Just how violent is becoming more clear in part due to a new paper published in Nature Astronomy. For the first time, it tracks the “recoil” that the newly formed…

Astronomers saw past the blinding light of a quasar, only to find a supermassive black hole that's much smaller than theoretical predictions.

One of the most powerful black holes in the universe is belching out gas at speeds of up to 10,000 kilometers per second, making its estimated mass more than 10 times lower than first thought.

Study shows black holes may be smaller than believed, challenging models of cosmic growth.

If the thought of a supermassive black hole terrifies you, a new study may provide some relief. Scientists say that these galactic giants might not actually be as big as we thought.

Scientists from University of Southampton say they may have been overestimating size of the celestial giants after a new discovery.

Astronomers believe supermassive black holes may not be as massive as previously thought

'There shouldn't have been enough time for them to grow that massive!'

(NaturalNews) A newly discovered supermassive black hole is growing at 2.4 times the theoretical speed limit, consuming 300 to 3,000 suns per year. Scientist...

Data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed a supermassive black hole with tremendous growth, like nothing ever seen before. This discovery is not only epic, but it could pave the way for scientists to gain insight into how…

The post Astronomers Spot Something “Totally Unexpected” at Event Horizon of Supermassive Black Hole appeared first on Futurism.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed that, just 800 million years after the Big Bang, there is a galaxy that contains a supermassive black hole — and not much else.

New observations of M87*, the first black hole ever imaged, revealed that the supermassive blackhole has experienced several magnetic flips in the last decade.

Webb telescope found 12 black holes from 12.9B years ago, suggesting supermassive black holes shaped the growth of the earliest galaxies.

Astronomers confirmed an off-center black hole in a dwarf galaxy. It offers clues to how supermassive black holes may form. Black holes are most often assumed to sit at the centers of galaxies, but a team led by Dr. Tao An of the Shanghai…

Astronomers at Penn State have nicknamed the objects “universe breakers,” which may be unusual black hole atmospheres and could represent a missing link in the fast growth of supermassive black holes. Small, faint red sources detected by…
