Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have separated the light of a quasar from the light of its surrounding stars ...
Einstein's general theory of relativity predicted that so-called 'plunging regions' around black holes would accelerate ...
New images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed, for the first time, starlight from two massive galaxies hosting actively growing black holes – quasars – seen less than a billion ...
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have gotten the first-ever look at the light of ancient stars shining around some of the biggest, brightest and oldest black holes in the ...
Black holes are regions in space where an enormous amount of mass is packed into a tiny volume. This creates a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape. They are created when giant ...
Webb’s 120-hour observations reveal that some of the “earliest monster black holes grew from massive cosmic seeds.” “After ...
MIT astronomers observed starlight around ancient quasars, offering insights into early black holes and galaxies.
Scientists have said that TON-618 is the biggest black hole in the universe with a mass of 66 billion solar masses. However, unverified claims by astronomy enthusiasts suggest that Phoenix-A is the ...
The supermassive black hole was found at the centre of GN-z11, an extremely luminous galaxy that was alive when the universe was only about ...
Black holes have a profound impact on their environments. As gas falls towards a super-massive black hole its gravitational potential energy can be converted to heat and light, in some instances ...
Kingston (US): Physicists consider black holes one of the most mysterious objects that exist. Ironically, they’re also considered one of the simplest. For years, physicists like me have been ...
