The observations revealed features never before seen in real time around a supermassive black hole. Among them was the launch ...

The dense stellar remnant would, if confirmed, be the closest known object to any black hole, according to preliminary ...

Since 2018, we've seen 1ES 1927+654 generate jets in real time and found it may have a lone white dwarf orbiting near the ...

International astronomers have discovered new features in a supermassive black hole in galaxy 1ES 1927+654, located 270 ...

MIT astronomers observed flashes of X-rays coming from a supermassive black hole at a steadily increasing clip. The source could be the core of a dead star that’s teetering at the black hole’s edge.

International teams of astronomers monitoring a supermassive black hole in the heart of a distant galaxy have detected ...
