NEW YORK (AP) — Scientists have spotted the brightest flare yet from a supermassive black hole that shines with the light of 10 trillion suns. These bursts of light and energy can come from things ...

For decades, scientists have suspected that some quasars, which are regarded as some of the brightest objects in the universe, might actually conceal not one but two black holes locked in a ...

When galaxies collide, it's not a gentle affair, but it does take millions of years. Over this time, the two massive star systems slowly merge together, their gravitational pull drawing them closer.

Black holes are eaters of all things, even radiation. But what if their rapacious appetites had an unexpected side effect? A new study published in Physical Review Letters suggests that black holes ...

Black holes may not be as black as you think. In 2022, scientists created a model of black hole, which emitted a strange light just as theory predicted.

The images, captured with the Event Horizon Telescope, show the magnetic field of the supermassive black hole M87* completely reversing. EHT Collaboration Observations of a supermassive black hole ...

At the heart of nearly every galaxy lurks a cosmic giant: a supermassive black hole. These mysterious objects, millions to billions of times more massive than our Sun, exert such powerful gravity that ...
