NASA has captured the astronomical event, called a Tidal Disruption Event (TDE), using its Hubble Space Telescope.

Supermassive black holes are behemoths that weigh in at several million to billion times the mass of our own sun. Like their ...

Astronomers using NASA telescopes have found 'Space Jaws' - a wandering, supermassive black hole. What's more, an accompanying telescope also revealed that the black hole is offset from the centre ...

Previously, all of the black holes ever found have been detected thanks to the way their gravity bends the light from orbiting 'companion stars'. Theoretical estimates suggest there could be up to ...

Now, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers may have cracked this puzzle, finding the first evidence of a supermassive black hole at the heart of M83, also known as NGC 5236, a ...

Any dust and gas that gets pulled in starts to swirl super-fast in that maelstrom, forming accretion disks that heat up as they "feed" the black hole. While the mechanism that fuels black holes is ...

"Undoubtedly the most spectacular aspect of our long term study is that it has delivered what is now considered to be the best empirical evidence that super-massive black holes do really exist ...

It has taught us a lot about our little slice of the cosmos, including where a lot of black holes can be found. The researchers say that the star orbiting the now recorded holder for the heaviest ...

In November 2024, astronomers using JWST reported that they'd found a black hole from the early universe that appeared to be gorging on matter 40 times faster than theoretically possible.The black ...
