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

There’s a pretty hot party raging in the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Using new observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a team of astrophysicists found that the ...

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: ...

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 ...

it's pulled into the black hole's accretion disk, which funnels the gas toward the hole itself. Essentially, the cool gas becomes the next course in the black hole's meal. NASA notes that these ...

More massive stars than the Sun have a very different life cycle and follow the right hand path in the diagram above: \({Nebula}\rightarrow{protostar}\rightarrow{main~sequence~star}\rightarrow{red ...
