A year ago, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration observed for the first time the supermassive black hole at the center of the nearby radio galaxy M87, finding the dark central shadow that was in agreement with General Relativity, further Read More …
The central region of our galaxy, the Milky Way, contains an exotic collection of objects, including a supermassive black hole weighing about 4 million times the mass of the Sun (called Sagittarius A*), clouds of gas at temperatures of millions Read More …
Astronomers have detected a double (or a binary as it is called) star system that it is flip-flopping between two alter egos using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the National Science Foundation’s Karl F. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA). This Read More …

Scientists have detected an ancient super-massive black hole with the name PSO J030947.49+271757.31. Its distance was calculated 13 billion light-years from Earth making it officially the most distant blazar ever observed with a relativistic jet pointing directly toward Earth. The Read More …
Scientists, while studying a very distant cluster of galaxies, have discovered the biggest explosion ever seen in the Universe since the Big Bang! The energy released from this explosion is five times larger than the previous record holder, which occurred Read More …
