Scientists may have finally uncovered the mystery behind ultra-high-energy cosmic rays — the most powerful particles known in the universe. A team from NTNU suggests that colossal winds from ...

A century after astronomers first spotted the colossal jet blasting from the black hole at the heart of the galaxy M87, a new look has brought it into startling focus. Using infrared observations, ...

A controversial prediction about black holes and the expansion force of the universe could explain a cosmology mystery ...

A black hole in a distant quasar is growing faster than the usual limit, according to Chandra observations. This may explain how the first supermassive black holes emerged. Astronomers have identified ...

In the new JWST image, the jet appears as a luminous pink ribbon unfurling across a hazy violet backdrop. The stream of charged particles shoots a few thousand light-years from M87's central black ...

Scientists use the Frontier supercomputer to reveal how black holes and magnetic fields keep galaxy clusters stable for billions of years.

The discovery of a large population of compact, red objects, now widely known as Little Red Dots (LRDs) is one of the most exciting results by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to date. An ...

New data from the James Webb Space Telescope may solve a riddle from the universe’s beginnings. A compact, distant object called “The Cliff” appears to show that many of the mysterious “little red ...

Supermassive black holes spiral towards each other in this simulation created by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center that shows how they glow in ultraviolet and X-ray light. The black holes are only 40 ...

Using a chain of atoms in single file to simulate the event horizon of a black hole, a team of physicists in 2022 observed the equivalent of what we call Hawking radiation – particles born from ...

For decades, black holes were thought to be invisible. Now, scientists have revealed how they look, using groundbreaking images and simulations. This video explores the discovery and its meaning.

Their research, published in The Astrophysical Journal, suggests that tiny primordial black holes (PBHs) could trigger these explosions without any companion star. Primordial black holes are thought ...
