"Theories involving substantial formation of stars prior to or together with the black hole formation and growth are very ...

Researchers have found that the supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, known as Sagittarius A*, is spinning so rapidly that it is altering the fabric of space-time around ...

Distant galaxy has no more stars being born as a supermassive black hole strips away all the gas needed to forge them.

There are three types of black holes, all born in different ways. But even the largest black holes can’t dominate the rotation of a galaxy.

The Large Magellanic Cloud, a close neighbor to the Milky Way, may house a giant black hole. It's the closest supermassive black hole outside of our galaxy.

An elusive type of black hole has been discovered in a neighboring galaxy for the first time, according to a new study based on observations from the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO’s ...

The XMM Newton space telescope has seen a feeding supermassive black hole as it throws a galaxy-sized tantrum ‘flipping over the table’ and preventing its parent galaxy from birthing new stars.

Astronomers have used the NASA/ESA James Webb Space Telescope to confirm that supermassive black holes can starve their host galaxies of the fuel they need to form new stars. The results are ...

The smaller, intermediate mass black hole was likely derived from the Sausage Galaxy, which collided with the Milky Way 10 billion years ago.

While there’s no need to fear that the black hole at the center of our galaxy will expand and consume everything, we can track rogue black holes as they move through the universe.

Supermassive black holes all over the universe are merging, a fate that will eventually come for the black hole at the center of our galaxy. These mysterious cosmic structures at the heart of ...
