Learn how researchers used Einstein’s theory of general relativity to create the most accurate simulations to date.

A team of computational astrophysicists has developed a simulation that explains the behavior of matter around black holes.

A strange X-ray signal spotted decades ago may be the result of a star that got attacked by two black holes, one after the ...

Using cutting-edge algorithms and exascale supercomputers, researchers have created the most realistic simulations yet of matter flowing into black holes. Building on decades of research, a group of c ...

A comprehensive set of simulations by Flatiron Institute astrophysicists and their colleagues revealed that magnetic fields are responsible for creating black holes with masses in a range previously ...

Galaxy mergers activate supermassive black holes, Euclid data shows, revealing more AGN in merging systems and new insights into galaxy evolution ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, a team of international researchers have discovered chemical fingerprints of gigantic ...

NASA’s Chandra telescope uses a new X-arithmetic method to compare X-ray energies and show how supermassive black holes shape galaxy clusters and galaxy groups, revealing differences in gas movement a ...

This artist’s illustration depicts a dwarf galaxy that hosts an active galactic nucleus — an actively feeding black hole. In the background are many other dwarf galaxies hosting active black holes, as ...

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the cosmos, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a terrifying, roving, oft-invisible monster dubbed "Space Jaws." Lurking 600 million ...

One of the first black holes ever imaged is even stranger than we thought, new images of its dramatically changing environment reveal. The object, known as M87*, has experienced unexpected changes in ...

"In order to get such high sensitivity in the mid-infrared, one needs to go to space, as the atmosphere severely messes up ground-based observations at this wavelength." ...
