For the first time, astronomers have directly witnessed the aftermath of a black hole consuming a nearby star, imaging the formation and expansion of a high-speed jet of material ejected in the maelstrom.
Spectroscopic measurements of gas dynamics at the core of the Milky Way have revealed several unusual objects visibly whizzing around the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy .
The merger of two neutron stars generated gravitational waves and high-energy gamma radiation and detected last August likely produced a record low-mass black hole.
Australian astronomers have fond what may be the fastest-growing black hole in the known universe, an ancient 20-billion-solar mass beast consuming the mass of the Sun every two days.
The Chandra Observatory has found direct evidence for up to 10 stellar-mass black holes and thousands more lurking within a few light years of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
Astrophysicists have discovered a dozen black holes gathered around Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.
A new research reveals a new high resolution map of the magnetic field lines in gas and dust swirling around the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.
The simulation consists of 18 simulations covering various scales - each a cubic mock-up of space up to 1 billion light years wide - tracing the evolution of the Universe from just after the Big Bang into the future.
A new study by a team of international astronomers has provided the first direct evidence that supermassive black holes affect star formation in their galaxies.
Looking to the center of our galaxy, astronomers noted the presence of a mysterious filament extending from the supermassive black hole located there.
This black hole resides in a luminous quasar and its light reaches us from when the Universe was only 5 percent of its current age — just 690 million years after the Big Bang.
ALMA has revealed signs of eleven low-mass stars forming perilously close — within three light-years — to the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole, known to astronomers as Sagittarius A*.
The gravitational wave events recorded in LIGO are actually the first direct indication of the existence of black holes. Three scientists from US wins 2017 Nobel prize in physics.
A team of researchers from japan have found evidence of another massive black hole near the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Last year’s gravitational wave discovery may have felt like the end of an era. The discovery, instead, spawned an entirely new field of astronomy, and the results are finally starting to trickle in.
