Astronomers Discover Supermassive Black Hole Firing a Powerful Energy Beam at Earth
Astronomers have identified a rare cosmic phenomenon: a supermassive black hole, known as J0410−0139, located 12.9 billion light-years from Earth. This black hole, with a mass equivalent to 700 million suns,
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 x-ray flashes are accelerating in a black hole
Astronomers detected X-ray flashes from the black hole that increased in frequency from one every 18 minutes to one every seven minutes.
Supermassive black hole spotted 12.9 billion light-years from Earth — and it's shooting a beam of energy right at us
The newly discovered "blazar," which has a mass equal to 700 million suns, is the oldest of its kind ever seen and changes what we know about the early universe.
Strange Flashes Could Be Signs of Closest Object Seen Near a Black Hole
Black holes themselves emit no light, but the supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies are often surrounded by huge clouds of material. It's this material, heated by friction and gravity as it swirls in orbit around the black hole, that blazes with light.
Many supermassive black holes can't be seen with current technology
NASA telescopes reveal 35% of supermassive black holes are hidden by dust, reshaping theories about their role in galaxy growth.
Feeding supermassive black holes are more common than thought across the universe
Feeding supermassive black holes are more common in the cosmos than previously suspected. What could possibly hide such ravenous cosmic titans?
First Infrared Flare-Up Detected From The Milky Way’s Supermassive Black Hole
Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. As supermassive black holes go, it is fairly quiet. It’s not creating any galaxy-wide tantrums that should worry us. It does flare up though,
More supermassive black holes lurking in universe than previously thought
A new study suggests more supermassive black holes may be lurking in the universe than previously thought. Astronomers from the University of Southampton have discovered that 35 per cent of these enormous entities—some of which are billions of times heavier than the sun—remain undetected.
Powerful Beam From Ancient Black Hole 12.9 Billion Light-Years Away Targets Earth
Supermassive black holes with powerful jets of high-energy particles, pointing directly at Earth are called blazars.
Supermassive black hole equal to 700 million suns' mass spotted firing a giant beam at Earth
Astronomers discover a supermassive black hole, weighing 700 million suns, firing a giant energy beam directly at Earth from ...
