A supermassive black hole is on track to produce the longest recorded emission of energy left over from a shredded star.

The James Webb Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory have captured the clearest image yet of a galaxy cluster in the making, seen when the universe was only one billion years old.

These range from the supermassive black hole in the Andromeda Galaxy to Cyg A*, which is at the heart of a radio galaxy 760 light-years away. We are decades away from operating radio telescopes on the ...

Astronomers at The University of Manchester have played a leading role in the discovery of a new cosmic object that is much larger than anything astronomers have seen before in the distant universe.

Recent observations suggest that 'runaway' black holes are tumbling through the cosmos. Building on decades of theory, the discovery adds a remarkable new chapter to the story of the universe.

It's nicknamed Jetty McJetface.

Astronomers have discovered the first radio signals from a unique category of dying stars, called Type Ibn supernovae, and these signals offer new insights into how massive stars meet their demise.

New research reveals how quiet galactic engines can help shape entire galaxies.

A nearby active galaxy called VV 340a offers a dramatic look at how a supermassive black hole can reshape its entire host. Astronomers observed a relatively weak but restless jet blasting outward from ...

A distant black hole tore apart a star and then stayed active for years, emitting powerful energy that continues to grow.

Astronomers have traced the origin point of a jet of material that is thousands of light-years long emanating from the supermassive black hole M87* ...
