The researchers said their findings offer crucial, much-needed information for astronomers studying reionization. It may also point astronomers toward other supermassive black hole candidates from the ...

A team of scientists using data from two NASA telescopes revealed that there are more supermassive black holes in the universe than initially believed. Black holes are gigantic objects that are ...

Jack Milko has been playing golf since he was five years old. He has yet to record a hole-in-one, but he did secure an M.A. in Sports Journalism from St. Bonaventure University. Call it the luck ...

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 ...

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 ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered distant, overly massive supermassive black holes in the early universe. The black holes seem way too massive compared to ...

Supermassive black holes are among the most common types of black holes in the universe. Most galaxies contain a supermassive black hole at their centres. These black holes have masses ranging ...
