super massive black hole
“The discovery of these supermassive black holes, which launch jets that emit more energy in one second than our sun will produce in its entire lifetime, was the culmination of a yearlong research pr…
Astronomers have discovered the oldest supermassive black hole ever found — a behemoth that grew to 800 million times the mass of the sun when the universe was just 5 percent of its current age, a ne…
The appearance of supermassive black holes at the dawn of the universe has puzzled astronomers since their discovery more than a decade ago. A supermassive black hole is thought to form over billions…
Black holes are vast, matter-annihilating objects that seem to defy physics by their very existence. They're so weird, that when Albert Einstein's equations first predicted the existence of …
One new theory could put some long-standing physics mysteries to rest. A recent astrophysical model suggests that three different types of high-energy “cosmic messenger particles” could all originate…
Destroying a black hole with rockets, shooting lasers at it, smashing planets into it, is not gonna work. Nothing like that would work, more interestingly whatever you throw at it will just make it b…
Astronomers have released a new X-ray/radio composite image of the distant galaxy Pictor A, showing a huge jet of high-energy particles produced by a super-massive black hole. They were also able to…
Data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has helped to pinpoint a supermassive black hole that is believed to be on the move. Dubbed a ‘renegade’ black hole, this object contains over 160 million t…
There is a massive black hole with millions of times more mass than our sun is plunging towards Earth and will one day annihilate life as we know it. This particular black hole is coming towards us a…
A new research paper published in Physical Review Letters has brought forward a significant new understanding of general relativity laws, and has found some strange physics taking place inside black…
NEW images from the Hubble Telescope show a distant galaxy being DESTROYED from within by a supermassive black hole. Stunning pictures from NASA’s telescope show a galaxy located some 150 million lig…
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has completed the deepest X-ray image ever obtained, made with over 7 million seconds of observing time revealing the best picture ever at the growth of black hol…
Astronomers have discovered a strange phenomenon previously thought to be uncommon. At the center of two dwarf galaxies were found supermassive black holes even larger than the one in the Milky Way. …
Astronomers have spotted the most distant supermassive black hole ever seen in our Universe — a behemoth that’s nearly a billion times more massive than our Sun. This is no ordinary black hole either…
About two decades of observing and studying two supermassive black holes hundreds of millions of light years away have let astronomers to the groundbreaking conclusion that these supermassive black h…
