Astronomers have discovered something remarkable — a supermassive black hole that is growing faster than expected. The black hole’s rapid growth defied what was previously known of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies.
Scientists using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have confirmed the presence of an actively growing supermassive black hole in a galaxy observed just 570 million years after the Big Bang. It's a greedy blackhole,…
Hubble’s stunning view of NGC 4102 reveals a seemingly calm spiral galaxy hiding a quietly powerful supermassive black hole at its center. Wrapped in thick gas, the galaxy’s core glows softly across multiple wavelengths, betraying the…
Astronomers have spotted the largest and most distant flare ever observed from a supermassive black hole. Nicknamed "Superman," the flare originated 10 billion light-years from Earth.
A massive star was torn apart by a supermassive black hole, producing the most powerful and distant flare ever observed, glowing with the light of 10 trillion suns.
New study reveals, for the first time, a tidal disruption event (TDE), where a black hole tears apart a star, occurring outside the center of a galaxy that produced exceptionally strong and rapidly evolving radio signals. This rare…
By Ashley Strickland, CNN (CNN) — Astronomers have spotted the largest and most distant flare ever observed from a supermassive black hole. Nicknamed “Superman,” the flare originated 10 billion light-years from Earth, and at its peak, the…
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."
