There is a supermassive black hole at the center of nearly every big galaxy—including ours, the Milky Way (it's called ...

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding ...

Astronomers have discovered extraordinarily powerful X-ray jets blasting from two supermassive black holes that are so ...

The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. At the same time several telescopes, including the Chandra X-ray Observatory ...

Astronomers have spotted a massive pair of jets releasing material from a distant black hole. The jets are so large they span about 140 Milky Way galaxies in length.

Astronomers have spotted the biggest pair of black hole jets ever seen, spanning 23 million light-years in total length. That's equivalent to lining up 140 Milky Way galaxies back to back.

An artist's illustration of the longest black hole jet system ever observed. Nicknamed Porphyrion after a mythological Greek giant, these jets span roughly 7 megaparsecs, or 23 million light- years.

Jets are formed in the complex environment near a black hole. The intense heating of infalling material ionizes and heats it, creating electromagnetic fields that act as a natural particle ...

Could Mysterious Black Hole Burps Rewrite Physics?

Hubble spotted a rare off-center black hole shredding a star, revealing the first optical discovery of a wandering ...

Astronomers have uncovered ultra-powerful X-ray jets from two ancient supermassive black holes located over 11 billion light-years away. These colossal jets, spanning 300,000 light-years, are nearly ...

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has detected powerful black hole jets emanating from a galaxy 11.6 billion light-years away. These jets, formed durin ...
