For years, the center of our galaxy has been painted as a place where stars...

An international research team led by PD Dr. Florian Peissker at the University of Cologne has used the new observation instrument ERIS (Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph) at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) facility in Chile to…

Observations of the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, collected by the James Webb Space Telescope, have allowed scientists to better understand how this cosmic titan fires off flares.

A colossal star met an unexpected fate when it drifted too close to a supermassive black hole 10 billion light-years away. Instead of exploding as a supernova, the star was torn apart, creating the brightest and most distant black hole…

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.

"This challenges our understanding of black hole and galaxy formation in the early universe."

Just when you think you understand black holes, the James Webb Space Telescope goes and discovers something that no one has ever seen before.

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…

At the center of a galaxy 10 billion light-years away, a supermassive black hole is the new record holder for brightest flare.

Early superdense star clusters may have planted seeds for monster black holes.

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.

Researchers have discovered the brightest and most powerful flare ever seen from a supermassive black...

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…

The flare has been going on for seven years as a supermassive black hole consumes a massive star that ventured too close.

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…
