Black holes may leak more energy to their surroundings than previously suspected — and the faster these voids spin, the more ...

Expect the unexpected In this artist’s rendering, a stream of matter trails a white dwarf orbiting within the innermost accretion disk surrounding 1ES 1927+654’s supermassive black hole. (Courtesy: ...

Back in 1971, a couple of British astronomers predicted the existence of a black hole at the center of our galaxy. And in 1974, other astronomers found it, naming it Sagittarius A*. Since then, ...

Recently, astronomers focused on a galaxy 270 million light years away, which hosts a supermassive black hole known as 1ES 1927+654. The black hole, researchers have now observed, has been ...

Another study that year showed that a cool gas halo surrounds Sagittarius A*, which gives unprecedented insight into what the environment around a black hole looks like. So far, astronomers have ...

It was players who destroyed that planet last year by turning it into a black hole as a means toward eradicating a mutated Terminid Super Colony of their own unintentional making. It was the first ...

The blue regions represent X-rays emitted by super hot gas by the ... may have significance beyond black hole feeding mechanisms, too. That's because cool filaments of gas are thought to supply ...

Supermassive black holes are often regarded as sources of wanton cosmic destruction, but there may be more to their powerful influence than first meets the eye. Researchers studied data from the ...

Ergo, there is a limit on how brightly the black hole can shine. If this limit is crossed, the scenario is called a super-Eddington accretion. This is the category in which LID-568 lies.
