Scientists using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope may have solved the mystery of massive galaxies existing way too early. Black holes just made them look brighter.
The phenomenon that was observed is known as an active galactic nucleus, which is when the supermassive black hole start to shine even brighter due to the activity at the galactic core.
Japanese researchers have proposed a new model for the formation of primordial black holes that could help explain the mysteries of dark matter and the early universe.
Gaia BH3 is the largest-known stellar black hole, according to astronomer and study co-author Tsevi Mazeh of the Tel Aviv University in Israel.
Black holes are extraordinarily dense objects with gravity so strong that not even light can escape, making viewing them extremely challenging.
A large and red supermassive black hole was found in a distant galaxy during the early years of the universe is excessively big for its galaxy, raising more questions about early galaxy formation.
Scientists have found a gigantic quasar 500 trillion times brighter than the Sun, fueled by the fastest-growing black hole known to exist.
Getting in the Super Bowl spirit? Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy, spins so fast that it makes spacetime around it shaped like a football.
Scientists using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope found that black holes actually created stars and galaxies in the early universe, in a study that rewrites our understanding of the universe.
The new study by The Hebrew University of Jerusalem is a significant “breakthrough” for understanding Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) involving supermassive black holes.
