Our brain and eyes can play tricks on us—not least when it comes to the expanding hole illusion. A new computational model ...

New data reveals a 3-million-light-year filament connecting two galaxies, each of which hosts a supermassive black hole.

Scientists have created the first-ever 3D maps of star-forming molecular clouds near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, ...

A new study shows that black holes consume gas which creates an outburst that cools nearby gas for the black hole to consume ...

Rapid X-ray oscillations detected near the innermost orbit of a supermassive black hole could indicate the presence of a nearby orbiter such as a white dwarf ...

Astrophysical jets from black holes play a key role in cosmic evolution, impacting star formation and revealing insights ...

Researchers have discovered the largest black hole plasma jets ever in a galaxy almost 7 billion light years away from Earth.

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 ...

Jets from black holes trigger cooling in the hot gas, causing it to condense into warm filaments. These filaments then flow toward the black hole, feeding it, and the cycle repeats. Brightness ...

The supermassive black hole has been sending out flashes that have increased in speed. Astronomers say they have never seen anything like it before. The black hole is known as 1ES 1927+654 ...

The Hubble Telescope captured a supermassive black hole creating expanding gas bubbles in the galaxy SDSS J1354+1327, 900 million light-years away. HE0435-1223, seen at the centre of this image, is ...
