Astronomers have observed the brightest black hole flare ever recorded, a cosmic explosion that blazed with the energy of 10 trillion suns after a supermassive black hole tore apart and consumed a giant star, according to a report by Space…
"The James Webb Space Telescope has opened a new frontier in extragalactic astrophysics, revealing objects we didn't even suspect existed, and we're only at the beginning of this adventure."
WASHINGTON >> Scientists are observing the most energetic flare ever seen emanating from a supermassive black hole, apparently caused when this celestial beast shredded and swallowed a huge star that strayed too close.
Cosmic inflation helps black holes grow quickly, but it can't explain how supermassive black holes grew to billions of solar masses in less than 500 million years.
A supermassive black hole gobbled up a huge enormous star, producing the biggest and most distant black hole flare ever recorded, according to a new study.
A black hole far from its galactic center has unleashed the fastest, brightest radio flares ever seen from a star’s destruction. For the first time, astronomers have detected a tidal disruption event (TDE), when a black hole destroys a…
For the first time, scientists observed a black hole tearing apart a star far from its galaxy’s center, producing the fastest-changing radio signals ever recorded. The event, AT 2024tvd, revealed delayed bursts of energy months after the…
