The black hole is so enormous that it makes up roughly 40% of the total mass of its host galaxy: in comparison, most black holes in the local universe are roughly 0.1% of their host galaxy mass.

The discovery could lead to the finding of more planets. Astrophysicists are marveling at the latest celestial discovery made near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole. Scientists have ...

Hubble captures NGC 5643, a grand design spiral galaxy 40M light-years Observations reveal star formation and an active supermassive black hol A smaller black hole, NGC 5643 X-1, outshines the ...

Black holes are some of the most extreme objects in the universe, and a new mission proposal suggests launching a space telescope specifically to study them. The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT ...

Even matter ejected by black holes can run into objects in the dark. Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have found an unusual mark from a giant black hole's powerful jet striking ...

The behind-the-scenes footage revisits the meticulous creation of the film’s prophetic black hole visuals. Nolan recalled his initial reluctance to involve Thorne directly with the visual ...

Quasars are luminous galactic centres fuelled by black holes. They shine brightly as material spirals into the black hole. Hubble’s advanced instruments allowed unprecedented exploration of 3C 273.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled the closest-ever look at a monster black hole devouring its cosmic surroundings. This supermassive black hole, at the heart of a quasar known as 3C 273 ...
