Astronomers report an unprecedented cosmic explosion, a gamma-ray burst (GRB 250702B) that lasted over seven hours, challenging existing models.

Astronomers have detected a black hole generating winds at 130 million mph, about 20% the speed of light, revealing a surprising link to solar physics.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have found a supermassive black hole in the early universe that is growing far faster than its host galaxy.

Astronomers have detected the most powerful flare ever seen from a black hole, an event 10 billion light-years away that shines with the power of 10 trillion suns.

Scientists have gained a clearer view of the massive jet from the M87 galaxy's black hole using James Webb Space Telescope data, revealing new details and a hint of the elusive counter-jet.

For the first time, astronomers have captured a direct radio image of two supermassive black holes orbiting each other at the heart of quasar OJ287.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured the clearest-ever infrared image of the jet from M87's supermassive black hole, revealing its elusive counter-jet.

A supermassive black hole in the early universe, RACS J0320-35, was found growing 2.4 times faster than the theoretical limit, challenging cosmic models.
