Scientists have discovered a star-smothering black hole energy jet tearing through a galaxy similar to the Milky Way.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Large Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy residing near our Milky Way, visible to the naked eye as ...

Fast-moving stars in the Milky Way received a powerful kick from the Large Magellanic Cloud — and a central black hole might ...

At the center of most large galaxies, including our own Milky Way, sits a supermassive black hole. Interstellar gas ...

Astronomers have discovered a record-breaking black hole moving at over 1,000 km/s, believed to have been ejected after galaxy collisions. Observed by telescopes in Hawaii and Chile, this ...

An international team of researchers used multi-wavelength observations of active galactic nuclei to study how black holes ...

That’s where [Steinhauer]’s sonic black holes come in. In these experiments, phonons, packets of mechanical vibrations that stand in for photons, are trapped in a fast-moving stream of fluid.

The "Cosmic Horseshoe" is an Einstein ring, a system made up of a foreground galaxy whose mass is so great, it warps the light from a galaxy behind it. Now, astronomers know where it gets this mass ...

The most widely accepted theory of galactic evolution holds that supermassive black holes are found only in the largest galaxies, such as the Milky Way. Until now, there was no reason to imagine ...

A study based on the trajectory of nine fast-moving stars observed at the fringes of the Milky Way provides strong evidence for the existence of a supermassive black hole inside the Large Magellanic ...
