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 ...
Webb’s 120-hour observations reveal that some of the “earliest monster black holes grew from massive cosmic seeds.” “After ...
Ever wonder what happens when you fall into a black hole? Now, thanks to a new, immersive visualization produced on a NASA ...
Scientists have proven one of Einstein’s theories, finding evidence that a plunging-region around black holes not only exists, but also exerts some of the strongest gravitational forces yet ...
MIT astronomers observed starlight around ancient quasars, offering insights into early black holes and galaxies.
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 ...
A computer-generated image of a black hole in front a rich star field. The black hole distorts starlight into a brilliant ring around itself. A black hole is a region in space where gravity has ...
Researchers, using the galaxy as a detector, believe they have detected gravitational waves from monster black holes for the first time.
