"This is a promising sign that there continues to be new and exciting avenues to explore tidal disruption events and use them as probes of supermassive black holes." Astronomers have watched as a ...

However, it is still unclear what shutdowns star formation. The answer now seems to be supermassive black holes, which slow star formation and help to transition the star formations into galaxies.

Time feels like it flies by or drags on depending on the intensity of your experiences. So, does that mean aging is merely a ...

There could be planets around the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy – and we may be ready to find them, scientists say. That hope comes after researchers found the first ever ...

In the center of NGC 5084, some 80 million light-years away, the supermassive black hole around which the whole galaxy revolves has been discovered tipped over on its side, with its rotational ...

International teams of astronomers monitoring a supermassive black hole in the heart of a distant galaxy have detected features never seen before using data from NASA missions and other facilities.

A glowing galaxy not far from the Milky Way has been harboring a strange, puzzling secret at its core. In the center of NGC 5084, some 80 million light-years away, the supermassive black hole around ...

The supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy is associated with wanton destruction, but a recent discovery throws that assumption into question. A team of international ...

Scientists hope that by studying this emission, they can better model the structure surrounding supermassive black holes. Not only was this the first time M87* had flared since 2010, but the ...
