Astronomers using the Keck Observatory have discovered a massive 'wobbling' jet in galaxy VV 340a that is actively stripping ...
For decades, astronomers have known that supermassive black holes lurk at the hearts of essentially all large galaxies, ...
Instead of just pointing in one direction, like most black hole jets, this one is sweeping in a curvy S-shaped pathway.
Scientists have discovered an enormous stream of super-hot gas erupting from a nearby galaxy, driven by a powerful black hole ...
Astronomers using W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea, Hawaiʻi Island have uncovered the largest and most extended stream of ...
When astronomers look deep into the early universe, the expectation is simple. You should see young galaxies still assembling ...
"This was many times more energetic than any similar event and more than any known explosion powered by the collapse of a ...
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 ...
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.
Nearly every galaxy has a supermassive black hole in its core. Whether the black hole forms first and then the galaxy around ...
This is the first time that disk-jet co-precession has been clearly observed in a black hole system, which is truly exciting, ...
