Fast-moving stars zooming through our galaxy might have been slingshotted from a black hole inside the neighbouring Large ...

Ancient quasars seen by the James Webb Space Telescope technically shouldn’t exist, but one rare type of dark matter could ...

The strange behavior of hypervelocity stars suggests a nearby dwarf galaxy must contain a supermassive black hole. If so, a ...

The passing gravitational waves “stretch or contract the universe by around 20 meters [about 65 feet] or so,” says Matthew ...

Astronomers have found a supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This black hole is 600,000 times the mass of ...

Once the two galaxies are merged, the supermassive hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud – if black hole there is – will make its way to the galactic center, where it will eventually, after many more ...

Located approximately 27,000 light-years (one light year equals approximately nine trillion kilometres) from Earth — relatively close when it comes to galactic black holes — Sag A* has an estimated ...

Scientists have detected the highest-energy ghost particle neutrino ever, but did it come from a supermassive black hole ...

Researchers using the Event Horizon Telescope have significantly advanced our understanding of the supermassive black hole at ...

Black holes can actively regulate the material they consume, using powerful jets of gas blasted into space, according to a ...

Another difference is that the pairs of supermassive black holes responsible for the recently detected waves are thought to be in relatively stable orbits; theorists believe they may orbit each ...
