A new simulation could help solve one of astronomy’s longstanding mysteries—how supermassive black holes formed so rapidly—along with a new one: What are the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) ...

When the James Webb Space Telescope sent its first high-definition infrared images back to Earth, astronomers noticed several tiny, glowing, crimson stains. These objects, quickly named “Little Red ...

Illustration of the underlying astrophysical processes that suppress star formation in red geyser galaxies, according to this new study. Galaxy interactions transfer cool gas clouds that fall into ...

Astronomers have found a potential new piece of the ongoing puzzle over “little red dots” (LRDs). It’s a distant smudge in the sky reminiscent of the mysteriously compact, crimson orbs that keep ...

A nearby active galaxy called VV 340a offers a dramatic look at how a supermassive black hole can reshape its entire host. Astronomers observed a relatively weak but restless jet blasting outward from ...

Scientists have developed a new technique that could turn black hole collisions into cosmic detectors for dark matter, ...
