A puzzling gravitational wave was detected, and astronomers have determined that it comes from a record-breaking black hole ...

But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...

With the recent first light milestone for the Vera Rubin Observatory, it's only a matter of time before one of astronomy's most long-awaited surveys begins. The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) ...

The search for dark matter requires all the best models, theories, and ideas we can throw at it. A new paper by Julia Monika Koulen, Stefano Profumo, and Nolan Smyth from the University of California ...

Now, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have observed a black hole in the act of devouring a star, ripping it apart and creating a huge burst of radiation.

The observation of titanic jets emerging from the supermassive black hole at the heart of a distant galaxy could be a grim prediction of the Milky Way's future.

Astronomers have found a massive radio jet, stretching across at least 200,000 light-years in the distant universe. The object is twice the width of the Milky Way galaxy.

However, astronomers have long questioned whether long, powerful jets could be spotted in the distant universe because the black holes responsible for them behaved differently in the early universe ...

Astronomers used an array of telescopes to find the most massive radio jet in the early universe. The celestial object is hundreds of thousands of light-years long.

These are cosmic fireworks left by powerful jets that originate from spinning black holes at the cores of galaxies. In this talk, Martijn Oei will introduce Porphyrion, a record-breaking jet pair that ...

Scientists have found a quasar spewing a gigantic radio jet in space at a time in the early universe when such objects are nearly impossible to find. Quasars, a portmanteau for "quasi-stellar ...

Researchers have discovered the largest black hole plasma jets ever in a galaxy almost 7 billion light years away from Earth.
