Scientists have used the wobble of the Milky Way and what are known as "cosmic lighthouses" to shine a light on the mystery ...

NewAthena should finally uncover the mechanisms driving the powerful AGNs at the centres of galaxy clusters, simultaneously shedding light on the evolution of the Universe’s most massive ...

Astronomers have spied a monster radio jet in the distant universe that’s twice the width of the Milky Way galaxy ... necessarily need an exceptionally massive black hole … to generate ...

Of course, this wouldn’t be the first time Webb’s observations challenged what we thought we knew about the early universe ... early galaxies. Webb’s discovery of these massive early ...

This snapshot from the Euclid space telescope shows about a thousand galaxies that form a single galaxy cluster, the Perseus Cluster. Many such clusters together form the largest structures in the ...

This dual achievement not only expands scientists' understanding of the black hole population in the Universe ... galaxy evolution. While astrophysicists are fairly confident that all massive ...

Gravitational waves are created whenever massive objects undergo any kind of acceleration. In the case of those first detections, the signal was produced by pairs of black holes within our galaxy ...
