Researchers recently made two unanticipated findings when making observations from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. They clocked the fastest wind ever seen blowing off a disk…
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers have found an intermediate-mass black hole surrounded by a cluster of young, blue stars. This is the first finding…
Astronomers believe that the supermassive black hole known as Sagittarius A* located at the center of the Milky Way may be destroying a large number…
A new study in The Astrophysics Journal, which will be published on February 20th, shows that black hole growth is strongly correlated with nuclear star formation…
NASAA’s Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, is one step closer to its March launch. The NuSTAR was shipped to the Vandenberg Air Force Base…
It might sound like science-fiction, but on Wednesday January 18th, astronomers, physicists, and scientists will convene in Tucson, Arizona, to discuss a feat that would…
Using the Very Large Baseline Array, astronomers have managed to capture an image of a black hole firing two gigantic pockets of ionized gas at…
Huge. Massive. Gigantic. Monstrous. Ginormous. Words fail to describe two huge black holes that may be the largest ever measured. Supermassive black holes inhabit most…
