New research reveals how quiet galactic engines can help shape entire galaxies.

There's no denying that something massive lurks at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, but a new study asks whether a ...

Astronomers propose that an ultra-dense clump of exotic dark matter could be masquerading as the powerful object thought to ...

Supermassive black holes appear early in the universe, too big to match growth models. New simulations suggest even "light seed” black holes could bulk up rapidly through frenzied feeding bursts ...

Inside an incredibly bright cluster of galaxies, a long-dormant supermassive black hole has come back to life. Radio images captured a one-million-light-year-long stream of star-forming particles and ...

It's nicknamed Jetty McJetface.

Some evidence of supermassive black holes influencing the gas around them has previously been seen in X-ray images. However, ...

"It is amazing to see that we are gradually moving towards combining these breakthrough observations across multiple frequencies and completing the picture of the jet launching region." ...

XRISM measurements map gas velocities in the Perseus and Virgo clusters, separating black hole-driven turbulence from merger-driven motion using high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy.

A black hole at the centre of a galaxy 665 million light years away is continuing to emit a jet of matter six years after ...

Learn how a shredded star triggered a black hole jet that evolved into a years-long energy surge that continues to intensify.

Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark ...
