Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery: a binary star orbiting perilously close to the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*. This stellar pair defies ...
The historic first image of the Messier 87 (M87) supermassive black hole, captured using the Event Horizon Telescope, has been sharped using a machine learning technique called PRIMO. PRIMO is short ...
In a revelation that challenges conventional theories, NASA astronomers have identified a supermassive black hole in the ...
Astronomers discover a quasar 12 billion light-years away with a water reservoir 140 trillion times larger than Earth's ...
A new effort to map the rumblings in spacetime caused by enormous black hole collisions paints a surprisingly loud and ...
On this day three years ago, we witnessed the nail-biting launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the largest and ...
It’s explored our own Solar System, studied the atmospheres of distant planets in search of signs of life and probed the ...
Many stars in our galaxy exist in pairs. Now scientists are finding clues that our Sun may once have had a companion of its ...
What knocked this black hole over onto its side? It's a cosmic "whodunnit" that NASA scientists using the Hubble and Chandra ...
The study was published in The Astrophysical Journal. AGNs are among the universe's most luminous objects, powered by the accretion of matter onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at their centers.
NASA has identified two asteroids, 2024 YH and 2024 YD3, set to approach Earth on December 26. Though these "near misses" will pass millions of miles away, they offer scientists an opportunity to ...
