Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a massive, dormant black hole from just 800 million years after the Big Bang.
Like the Sun, black holes also have a corona.
A pair of quasars closer together than any others previously observed could help researchers understand supermassive black hole binaries.
Supermassive black holes sat at the centre of active galaxies could have company. Binary pairs of these titanic cosmic objects could merge to form a more monstrous black hole. Observational methods are finally becoming sensitive enough to spot such an event.
New research has uncovered the presence of at least thirteen ‘wandering’ black holes in dwarf galaxies. Something, that until recently was not believed possible.
A new theory suggests that planets could form in dense dust and gas clouds surrounding supermassive black holes at the centre of active galaxies.
The wealth of newly discovered ancient galaxies suggests that scientists may have to refine their model of the universe.
Supermassive black holes slowly eject cold gas.
It's the farthest, oldest, and perhaps most mysterious object we've ever discovered.
The findings help create a more comprehensive picture of supermassive black hole populations.
