With masses that dwarf anything in the stellar realm, supermassive black holes are central to galaxy evolution. This analysis compares them to other cosmic giants—like dark matter halos and galactic ...

Researchers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed an actively growing supermassive black hole within a galaxy just 570 million years after the Big Bang. Part of a class of ...

"This challenges our understanding of black hole and galaxy formation in the early universe." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have uncovered a voraciously feeding and rapidly ...

NASA has visualized the cataclysm, which is thought to have caused a mysterious eruption of gamma rays captured by telescopes ...

Scientists have discovered a runaway supermassive black hole blasting through space at unbelievable speeds. Its trail stretches for hundreds of thousands of light-years, leaving astronomers stunned ...

A team of astronomers has discovered a supermassive black hole that is 100 million times the mass of the sun. This impressive discovery was found using the powerful James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) ...

Scientists have discovered that the redshift galaxy CANUCS-LRD-z8.6 has an unusually large accretion black hole for its deposit. Unlike typical black holes in galaxies of this age, this one is more ...

Scientists working with the James Webb Space Telescope discovered three unusual astronomical objects in early 2025 that may ...

Dusty stars close to the Milky Way’s black hole stay stable for years. New infrared data shows they survive gravity and ...

U.S. National Science Foundation NOIRLab astronomers, using data from the James Webb Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory, have discovered an early universe supermassive black hole ...

Astronomers have spotted the largest and most distant flare ever observed from a supermassive black hole. Nicknamed "Superman," the flare originated 10 billion light-years from Earth, and at its peak, ...
