Astronomers have found a supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This black hole is 600,000 times the mass of ...

The strange behavior of hypervelocity stars suggests a nearby dwarf galaxy must contain a supermassive black hole. If so, a ...

Astronomers detect signs of a massive, invisible black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which may collide with the Milky ...

Astronomers have used a continent-sized radio telescope to find the largest black hole jet ever observed in the early ...

Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) were first theorized to exist in the late 1980s. In 2005, the first discoveries were confirmed.

Located approximately 27,000 light-years (one light year equals approximately nine trillion kilometres) from Earth — relatively close when it comes to galactic black holes — Sag A* has an estimated ...

The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. At the same time several telescopes, including the Chandra X-ray Observatory ...

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile have discovered "signs of a ‘hot spot’ ...

The Milky Way can be seen as something of a bully, having devoured many smaller galaxies to achieve its vast mass, and ...

making it twice as long as the width of the Milky Way. Even more surprisingly, the black hole that powers the quasar from which this jet erupts, designated J1601+3102, is relatively small.

Astronomers used an array of telescopes to find the most massive radio jet in the early universe. The celestial object is ...

In the heart of our Milky Way galaxy, two gigantic "bubbles" extend roughly 50,000 light-years above and below the galactic ...
