Pair of huge plasma jets spotted blasting out of gigantic black hole

Astronomers discovered record-breaking plasma jets from a supermassive black hole, which play a critical role in the evolution of the universe.

Scientists Say Furious Black Hole Making Nearby Stars Explode

Supermassive black holes can emit jets that cause nearby stars to explode, revealing gaps in our understanding of black hole interactions.

There's Something Impossible About This Ravenous Black Hole, Scientists Say

Astronomers discovered a black hole, LID-568, consuming matter at 40 times the theoretical limit shortly after the Big Bang.

"Something doesn't add up": The Webb Telescope Identified Premature Supermassive Back Holes

Baby quasars discovered in distant universe are precursors to supermassive black holes.
Astronomers used James Webb Space Telescope to identify small galaxies with actively-feeding supermassive black holes.

Starts With A Bang Podcast #109 - Launching a galactic cone

Galactic activity is continuous and manifests even in seemingly passive galaxies like NGC 3227.

Scientists create the largest chart of active supermassive black holes

Supermassive black holes are concentrated masses in the centers of galaxies, with the 3D map revealing 1.3 million of them.
The map, created with data from the Gaia spacecraft, shows quasars - active supermassive black holes feeding on material, emitting bright radiation.

After Swapping Cameras, Astronomers Spot Stars Being Ripped Apart All Around Us

Supermassive black holes devour a star once every 50,000 years on average.
Researchers have identified 18 new tidal disruption events using infrared data from NASA's NEOWISE.

Newly spotted black hole has mass of 17 billion Suns, adding another daily

Quasars are super bright objects produced by actively feeding supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies.
J0529−4351 is the brightest quasar ever observed, initially mistaken for a star due to its appearance.

Black holes formed quasars less than a billion years after Big Bang

Supermassive black holes are found in every galaxy, including early Universe, challenging our understanding of their rapid growth.

How huge black holes sprouted just after the Big Bang

Faint galaxies observed by Hubble could be early supermassive black hole seeds.

'Overmassive' Black Holes Dominated Early Galaxies, Study Finds

Early supermassive black holes in ancient galaxies are smaller than those in our nearby universe but appear too big compared to the mass of stars in their host galaxies.
These early black holes were likely spawned by collapsing gas clouds and were more massive than their galaxies, but galaxies gained stellar mass over time.

Messy Plasma Streams Explain Supermassive Black Holes Influence On Galaxies

Supermassive black holes have different feeding habits, but emit the same radiation, which could help explain their influence on galaxies.
A new study found that black holes with different appetites glow in the same way, regardless of the amount and manner of matter falling into them.

Nearby star cluster houses unusually large black hole

Supermassive black holes' growth remains a mystery, exemplified by a newly discovered intermediate-mass black hole in Omega Centauri's globular cluster.
