This supermassive black hole flung out matter at 134 million mph: ‘On a scale almost too big to imagine’
In other words, the matter traveled at 20% the speed of light.
Scientists discover 53 powerful quasars shooting out jets up to 50 times wider than our Milky Way
"The sizes of these radio jets are not comparable to our solar system or even our galaxy."
NASA exoplanet-hunting spacecraft hears a red giant star ‘singing’ to its partner black hole
NASA's exoplanet-hunting spacecraft TESS has heard the song a star-quaking red giant sings to its partner black hole.
Have gravitational waves provided the first hint of primordial black holes born during the Big Bang?
Scientists may have "heard" the first tantalizing evidence of primordial black holes formed directly from overly dense pockets of matter just after the Big Bang.
James Webb Space Telescope watches our Milky Way galaxy’s monster black hole fire out a flare
Observations of the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, collected by the James Webb Space Telescope, have allowed scientists to better understand how this cosmic titan fires off flares.
James Webb Space Telescope spots rapidly feeding supermassive black hole in the infant universe: ‘This discovery is truly remarkable.’
"This challenges our understanding of black hole and galaxy formation in the early universe."
As our black hole images get more detailed, we may find Einstein wasn’t quite right about them
Albert Einstein's theory of gravity, general relativity, may not be the best recipe to describe black holes.
Scientists solve the mystery of ‘impossible’ merger of ‘forbidden’ black holes
Scientists may have solved the mystery of an "impossible" merger between two black holes so massive and fast-spinning that they shouldn't even exist, according to current theory.
James Webb Space telescope spots ‘big red dot’ in the ancient universe: A ravenous supermassive black hole named ‘BiRD’
"The James Webb Space Telescope has opened a new frontier in extragalactic astrophysics, revealing objects we didn't even suspect existed, and we're only at the beginning of this adventure."
Scientists detect biggest black hole flare ever seen — with the power of 10 trillion suns
Astronomers have detected the most distant and biggest black hole flare ever seen, the result of a black hole ripping apart and devouring a star 30 times as massive as the sun.
