There is no definite way of how a black hole forms in the universe, but the new high-powered simulation from the researchers of Northwestern University could shed light on how galaxies feed the supermassive black hole.
An new image of a supermassive black hole and its vast extragalactic radio jet has been captured for the first time, raising new questions about our nearest radio galaxy.
Novel research suggests that supermassive black holes, located in the center of galaxies or galaxy clusters, could have originated from massive seed black holes that would explain its exponential mass growth rate.
Researchers were able to identify the mysterious hot-white plasma beams from black hole emissions. It is possible evidence of the Blandford-Znajek process.
Astronomers discover a 114-day recurring outburst of light in the "Old Faithful" galaxy. Like clockwork, a galaxy roughly 570 million lightyears away bursts light every 114 days, and scientists finally understand why.
A picture of a cinnamon bun-shaped galaxy snapped by the Hubble telescope was posted by NASA. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured a "tantalizing" thin bright rays and dark shadows beaming from the Northern Hemisphere constellation of Andromeda.
Gravitational-wave scientists reported that in the event of a collision and subsequent merging of two black holes, the resulting black hole "chirps" not just once, but multiple times.
How supermassive black holes formed over billions of years have remained a mystery to astronomers for years. A recent discovery of six galaxies and a supermassive black hole forming a cosmic web may explain its origins.
The late Albert Einstein's general relativity proves to be correct with new astronomy study showing S2's orbit around the supermassive black hole at the heart of Milky Way
One object in the middle of the milky way galaxy (MWG) perplexed astronomers for a quite some time. It is thought to be a hydrogen gas cloud on a collision course with a black hole.
Stars are like living beings that are made of star stuff, one of the longest-lived galactic structures and the source of light in the dark universe. A star dies in several ways, its corpse becomes something else.
As seen in their chemical composition, these massive stars lose most of their mass through explosions and powerful stellar winds then it will collapse into a black hole.
The black hole that rests at the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy glowed brighter than the usual and scientists are left wondering what could have caused it.
Chasing its early stages is among the missions of future powerful telescopes It is believed the formation and growth of most galaxies across the universe have been fueled by supermassive black holes that are growing together with their host galaxy, as they collect matter to get millions of solar masses.
Scientists say that there are strange things hiding in space gas clouds waiting to be discovered. There is a black hole peeking behind a space cloud and scientists are looking at the depths of it to find out how it affects the rest of the life on Earth.
A long-standing question in astrophysics is: how and when did supermassive black holes appear and grow in the early universe? New research using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) suggests that an answer to this question lies with the intermittent way giant black holes may consume material in the first billion years after the Big Ban
