For decades, astronomers have known that supermassive black holes lurk at the hearts of essentially all large galaxies, ...

Astronomers using the Keck Observatory have discovered a massive 'wobbling' jet in galaxy VV 340a that is actively stripping ...

Instead of just pointing in one direction, like most black hole jets, this one is sweeping in a curvy S-shaped pathway.

"This was many times more energetic than any similar event and more than any known explosion powered by the collapse of a ...

A wobbling jet from a supermassive black hole in a nearby galaxy is blasting gas out at a rate high enough to suppress star formation.

When astronomers look deep into the early universe, the expectation is simple. You should see young galaxies still assembling ...

Nearly every galaxy has a supermassive black hole in its core. Whether the black hole forms first and then the galaxy around ...

Astronomers have seen spacetime itself wobble near a spinning black hole for the first time. The discovery, revealed during a star’s destruction, confirms a major prediction of Einstein’s theory of ...

This is the first time that disk-jet co-precession has been clearly observed in a black hole system, which is truly exciting, ...

For the first time, a shockwave propagating inside the jet of a celestial object presumed to be a pair of orbiting ...

Black holes — remnants of collapsed stars — have immense mass that curves spacetime so all paths lead inward. They also capture the popular imagination as sci-fi plot devices and metaphors for the ...
