As a primordial black hole (PBH) passes through the human body, it exerts strong tidal forces, creating a tensile force on ...

NASA's flagship space telescope captured flares from the disk of superheated material around the black hole, revealing the dynamic—and explosive—physics at our galaxy's core.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is providing the best look yet at the chaotic events unfolding around the supermassive ...

In 1974, science fiction author Larry Niven wrote a murder mystery with an interesting premise: Could you kill a man with a ...

A computer-based study is simulating the behaviour of massive cosmic jets in a virtual universe to help us understand how ...

Enabled by supercomputing, University of Pretoria (UP) researchers have led an international team of astronomers that has ...

Black holes can actively regulate the material they consume, using powerful jets of gas blasted into space, according to a ...

Supermassive black holes are seen as sources of wanton cosmic destruction, but there may be more to their powerful influence ...

Space experts have uncovered a massive swarm of new supermassive black holes that could blow theories about galaxies wide open. A team of scientists using data from two NASA telescopes revealed ...

Some of the warm gas flows back into the black hole, fuelling more outbursts and continuing the cycle. One key discovery was that the brightness of hot gas is linked to the brightness of warm gas ...

In the three decades leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, the difference in average life expectancy between White and Black people in the United States measurably shrank. Researchers analyzed changes ...

"Our measurements imply that the supermassive black hole mass is 10% of the stellar mass in the galaxies we studied." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered ...
