Astronomers warn of billions of black holes consuming ‘hidden’ matter
Astronomers have warned that billions of black holes are consuming "hidden" matter in the universe. Experts identified these black holes by observing through clouds of dust and gas. This discovery could help astronomers refine their theories on galaxy evolution.
Astronomers find hundreds of 'hidden' black holes — and there may be billions or even trillions more
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 capture unprecedented view of supermassive black hole in action
Active galactic nuclei are supermassive black holes at the center of certain galaxies. As matter falls into these black holes, enormous amounts of energy are released, making active galactic nuclei, or AGN,
Mysterious flashing seen near supermassive black hole. Astronomers have an idea what it is
A black hole infamous for strange features has once again baffled astronomers, this time with rapid X-ray flashes. What could they be?
Mysterious Pulsing X-Rays From a Nearby Black Hole Baffle Astronomers
MIT astronomers have been captivated by the strange behaviors of a supermassive black located 270 million light-years away, which mysteriously lost and then regained its corona in 2018. Recently, it e
Feeding supermassive black holes may have ended the cosmic 'dark ages' billions of years ago
"Finding more supermassive black holes that are potentially hosting jets raises the question as to how these black holes grew so big in such a short timescale."
Supermassive Black Hole Caught Doing Something Never Seen Before
Sgr A*, at the heart of the Milky Way and clocking in at 4.3 million solar masses, is the closest supermassive black hole we have access to. It's also on the quiescent end of the activity scale, which means we have a front row seat to small-scale black hole behavior that would be too faint to see were it taking place in another galaxy.
