The EHT captured a surprising polarization reversal around M87*, pointing to rapidly changing magnetic fields near the black hole’s shadow.

Researchers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed an actively growing supermassive black hole ...

Astronomers have uncovered clues to a red giant’s chaotic past by detecting subtle stellar vibrations that hint at a long-ago collision and an unexpectedly rapid spin. Astronomers at the (IfA) have pi ...

Astronomers have long debated the role of galaxy mergers in powering active supermassive black holes. Now an unprecedented dataset of a million galaxies from the Euclid telescope provides evidence ...

The JWST's MIRI detected a flare in Sagittarius A*, revealing for the first time in mid-infrared how an explosion occurs near a black hole.

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration detected two unique black hole merger events, GW241011 and GW241110, which featured a rapidly spinning black hole and the first observed black hole spinning backward ...

Astronomers have witnessed something that no one believed possible: a black hole ripping apart a star not at the center of a galaxy, but far from it. More amazingly, the event’s radio waves pulsed and ...
