Observations from NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope and the VLT have revealed jets blasting from supermassive black holes cause ...

In the above image, the black holes are the bright white spots in the center of the gas clouds. The purple cloud represents ...

Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery about black holes, revealing that these cosmic giants can essentially cook ...

Astronomers theorize that a low-mass white dwarf, a compact core of a dead star about as large as Earth, could be the culprit. A cosmic mystery surrounding a black hole some 270 million light ...

The dense stellar remnant would, if confirmed, be the closest known object to any black hole, according to preliminary research Sara Hashemi Daily Correspondent An artist’s concept of a white ...

In 2018, astronomers at MIT and elsewhere observed that the black hole's corona -- a cloud of whirling, white-hot plasma -- suddenly disappeared, before reassembling months later. The brief though ...

"This would be the closest thing we know of around any black hole," Megan Masterson, a physicist at MIT who co-led the research, said in a statement. "This tells us that objects like white dwarfs ...

A white dwarf would also lose angular momentum through gravitational waves, but it also has an additional source of energy. By slowly losing its outermost material to the supermassive black hole ...

Many mysteries in the universe still confound physicists and astronomers. The idea of white holes, which are hypothetical equivalents of black holes, is one of the most puzzling notions in ...

Astronomers have found that the largest black holes in the universe don’t just consume matter—they also help create it. (Centaurus Cluster composite image.) Credit: X-ray: NASA/CXC/SAO/V. Olivaresi et ...
