"This discovery challenges the common belief that black holes formed in star clusters always have randomly distributed spins." ...

Black holes can actively regulate the material they consume, using powerful jets of gas blasted into space, according to a ...

Scientists have created the first-ever 3D maps of star-forming molecular clouds near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, ...

Supermassive black holes can fuel their own growth by cooling and recycling gas, creating a continuous cycle of feeding and ...

Supermassive black holes are seen as sources of wanton cosmic destruction, but there may be more to their powerful influence ...

New research shows black holes can trigger gas cooling, creating fuel for their own feeding. This process keeps them growing ...

Space experts have uncovered a massive swarm of new supermassive black holes that could blow theories about galaxies wide open. A team of scientists using data from two NASA telescopes revealed ...

Observations from NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope and the VLT have revealed jets blasting from supermassive black holes cause gas to cool and fall toward them in a cosmic feeding process.

Astronomers combined data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the VLT to create a comprehensive view of how these massive black holes interact with their surroundings. Images taken with the ...

Jets from black holes trigger cooling in the hot gas, causing it to condense into warm filaments. These filaments then flow toward the black hole, feeding it, and the cycle repeats. Brightness ...
