Scientists have uncovered new evidence helping to understand intermediate-mass black holes, thought to be the rare “missing links” in black hole evolution.

A sweeping cosmic census from the James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled nearly 1,700 galaxy groups—marking the deepest and ...

Researchers have shown that abstract mathematical functions from the frontiers of theoretical physics have a real-world use ...

What is Space Jaws? A covert black hole revealed itself to astronomers in 2025 with a spectacular burst of radiation known as a tidal disruption event ...

"Space Jaws" even co-exists with another even larger supermassive black hole, weighing in at a gargantuan 100 million times the mass of our sun. As expected, that black hole does exist at the ...

no supermassive black hole should have had time to grow to such a gargantuan size. "There are certain theoretical models where this would be expected though, so if this were the case it could have ...

The data also offer some hints about how some supermassive black holes manage to unleash gargantuan jets of particles traveling at near light-speed. “It’s truly remarkable, it’s almost ...

Astronomers have long puzzled over how the gargantuan black holes at the centres of galaxies can grow to be so large. One possible route is for smaller – but still extremely massive – black ...

What happens when a gargantuan cloud of gas swallows a pair of monster black holes with their own appetites? Feasting on the gas can cause some weird (heavenly) bodily functions. AT 2021hdr is a ...
