New evidence that outbursts from black holes can help cool down gas.

Black holes that have been obscured by clouds of dust still emit infrared light, enabling astronomers to spot them for the very first time Astronomers have discovered hundreds of hidden ...

The black hole, with an official name of 1ES 1927+654, is located in the distant constellation Draco. Astronomers have been monitoring the black hole for years, primarily since 2018 when the mass ...

A strange black hole is making scientists scratch their heads. The distant object, dubbed "1ES 1927+654" and packing the mass of 1 million suns, previously stunned astronomers when its corona ...

Multiple NASA telescopes recently helped scientists search the sky for supermassive black holes—those up to billions of times heavier than the sun. The new survey is unique because it was as ...

The size and spin of black holes can reveal important information about how and where they formed, according to new research. The study, led by scientists at Cardiff University, tests the idea ...

Scientists have found that supermassive black holes self-grow by regulating the cooling of surrounding hot gas, forming warm gas filaments that they consume. This discovery enhances the ...

"For such a faint and unknown target, we were not sure if we would get any data at all — but the strategy worked." Astronomers studying elusive supermassive black holes at the hearts of galaxies ...
