Now, though, using an instrument called the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument or DESI, scientists have discovered a trove ...

Astronomers have spotted displays of flashing lights and “fireworks” near a supermassive black hole at the center of the ...

Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) finds actively feeding black holes and a host of other black hole candidates.

Scientists observed constant flares from the Milky Way's black hole, revealing unpredictable and intense activity.

Using early data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), a team of scientists have compiled the largest sample ...

The passing gravitational waves “stretch or contract the universe by around 20 meters [about 65 feet] or so,” says Matthew ...

Back in 1971, a couple of British astronomers predicted the existence of a black hole at the center of our galaxy. And in 1974, other astronomers found it, naming it Sagittarius A*. Since then, ...

Researchers said on Thursday that they had discovered twin-lobed radio jets they suspect were formed when the universe was ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, watched the moment a feeding supermassive black hole at the heart of a distant galaxy spat out a jet of material at one-third of the speed of light.

A supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) may be the source of nine stars zooming through our galaxy – a surprising hint that dwarf galaxies can host large black holes.

In the modern universe, for galaxies close to our own Milky Way, supermassive black holes tend to have masses equal to around 0.01% of the stellar mass of their host galaxy. Thus, for every 10,000 ...
