Black hole is starving its host galaxy of star-forming fuel
Astronomers have detected a supermassive black hole starving its galaxy of gas, halting star formation in the early universe.
Black hole caught blasting jets out into the cosmic void
The plumes stretch farther than any yet seen, reaching millions of light-years long and potentially influencing the cosmos nearby.
James Webb Space Telescope reveals how supermassive black holes starve galaxies of star formation
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have confirmed that supermassive black holes can prevent star formation in their host galaxies by expelling vital gas and dust. An international team led by Cambridge University discovered this phenomenon in a distant galaxy,
Newly discovered black hole jets span more than 140 Milky Way galaxies long
Astronomers have discovered twin black hole jets that span a distance greater than 140 Milky Way galaxies long, the biggest jets found yet.
Faraway black hole unleashes record-setting energetic jets
Two mighty beams of energy have been detected shooting in opposite directions from a supermassive black hole inside a distant galaxy — the largest such jets ever spotted, extending about 140 times the diameter of our vast Milky Way galaxy.
Astronomers Theorize There’s a Cluster of Black Holes Moving Around Our Galaxy
Black holes hold some of the universe’s greatest mysteries, with giant empty spots in space sucking in whatever enters their gravitational pull. However, the mystery is now growing as astronomers are now saying there could be a swarm of black holes moving across the Milky Way.
A Black Hole Was Observed Creating the Largest Cosmic Megastructure Ever Seen
Black holes suck in anything and everything that comes near them, even light cannot escape after crossing one of their event horizons, However they also produce massive outflows of plasma and one of those astrophysical jets just produced the largest megastructure ever observed.
Hubble Space Telescope finds surprising number of black holes in early universe
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope helped astronomers find more supermassive black holes in the early universe than previous estimates.
