Black Hole May Have Formed by Direct Collapse
Astronomers may have spotted a supermassive black hole in the early universe that formed when a gargantuan gas cloud imploded.
Does the Hyades Star Cluster Harbor Black Holes?
The nearest black holes might be hiding just around the corner, 150 light-years away in the Hyades star cluster.
JWST Turns Its Eye on Supermassive Black Holes and the Galaxies That Host Them
The intrepid infrared explorer is offering astronomers a jump back in time, enabling them to see quasars at earlier times than ever before.
Milky Way's Central Black Hole Flared 200 Years Ago
A glowing molecular cloud shines today because of a 200-year-old flare let out by our galaxy’s supermassive black hole, scientists say.
Gravitational Waves from Supermassive Black Holes Revealed
Radio observatories across the globe have found compelling evidence for the existence of very-low-frequency gravitational waves.
Even Lonely Black Holes Need to Eat
Astronomers have found supermassive black holes in smaller galaxies are actually more likely to light up when they’re isolated in vast, cosmic voids.
Signal Found from Supermassive Duo's Second Black Hole
Astronomers have long suspected that a distant quasar harbors not one but two supermassive black holes. They've now detected OJ 287's second black hole.
Does This Star Cluster Host a Black Hole in Its Core?
The well-known star cluster Messier 4 might have an elusive, midsize black hole hidden at its center, but the evidence isn’t conclusive yet.
“Rogue Black Hole” Could Be Something Much Simpler
An unusual streak of stars thought to have formed in the wake of a wandering supermassive black hole might just be a spiral galaxy seen edge-on.
First Image of Black Hole Shadow and Jet Together
For the first time, astronomers have seen how the big plasma jet shot out by a supermassive black hole connects to the material falling into the black hole.

The First Black Hole Image, Take Two
A new analysis of Event Horizon Telescope data sharpens our view of the glowing gas encircling the black hole.
Massive Black Hole Duo Spotted at Cosmic Noon
The most distant pair of supermassive black holes discovered offers a unique insight into how galaxies merge.
Watch the Milky Way’s Black Hole Spaghettify a Cloud
Two decades of observations show a dusty gas cloud elongating as it approaches our galaxy's supermassive black hole.
Have Scientists Found a Rogue Supermassive Black Hole?
