In fact, these strong X-ray emissions led to the discovery of the first black hole, Cygnus X-1 in the constellation Cygnus, in 1964. If all this sounds like science fiction, read on. It's only the ...

Could our galaxy actually be inside a black hole? New research seems to suggest this possibility. NASA's James Webb Telescope ...

New research from a professor at the Kansas State University that used imaging from the James Webb Space Telescope gives ...

Scientists have detected radio signals from hot gas surrounding a supermassive black hole that existed 12.9 billion years ago, according to new research published in Nature Astronomy from an ...

That explanation agrees with theories such as black hole cosmology, which postulates that the entire universe is the interior of a black hole. "But if the universe was indeed born rotating ...

This means that the study represents our closest ever look at the heating mechanisms that affect gas around a rapidly growing black hole from such an early period in the universe's history—and ...

"Black holes are so stealthy that this one has been practically under our noses this whole time." The galaxy next door to the Milky Way, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), could be hiding a ...

"A particle in the vicinity of a rotating black hole will orbit it at a speed close to the maximum allowed by the laws of physics, the speed of light in a vacuum, which has a value of 300,000 km/s ...

While large galaxies host central supermassive black holes (SMBH) as a rule, dwarf galaxies like the LMC are more mixed. Astronomers have speculated about it containing a black hole, but the data ...

A rare instance of a supermassive black hole merger has been observed, resulting in a black hole exhibiting an unusually high proper motion. The New Scientist reported that this event holds ...

The black hole at the Milky Way’s heart neither slumbers nor sleeps. Instead, the ring of plasma surrounding it flickers constantly, punctuated by superbright flares, observations show.
