Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have separated the light of a quasar from the light of its surrounding stars ...
Einstein's general theory of relativity predicted that so-called 'plunging regions' around black holes would accelerate ...
New images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed, for the first time, starlight from two massive galaxies hosting actively growing black holes – quasars – seen less than a billion ...
Webb’s 120-hour observations reveal that some of the “earliest monster black holes grew from massive cosmic seeds.” “After ...
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have gotten the first-ever look at the light of ancient stars shining around some of the biggest, brightest and oldest black holes in the ...
Ever wonder what happens when you fall into a black hole? Now, thanks to a new, immersive visualization produced on a NASA ...
Black holes are regions in space where an enormous amount of mass is packed into a tiny volume. This creates a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape. They are created when giant ...
“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” This famous quote by Isaac Newton points to an axiom that lies at the heart of The Sciences — knowledge ...
Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ...
NASA's Chandra X-ray space telescope has spotted the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy erupting, proving even quiet black holes like Sagittarius A* need to vent sometimes.
Researchers, using the galaxy as a detector, believe they have detected gravitational waves from monster black holes for the first time.
