A new set of images and measurements of the Milky Way’s central black hole – Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) – a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. This ...
An international team of astronomers found the first bright radio emission from a tidal disruption event (TDE) outside the center of a galaxy.
In a galaxy 650 million light-years away, a black hole has defied the typical rules of cosmic behavior, unleashing an event that has left astronomers puzzled. For decades, scientists have observed ...
A black hole far from its galactic center has unleashed the fastest, brightest radio flares ever seen from a star’s destruction. For the first time, astronomers have detected a tidal disruption event ...
When scientists discovered an enormous black hole thousands of light-years from where it ought to be in space, they knew they had a cosmic oddity on their hands. NASA's Hubble Spa ...
For the first time, scientists observed a black hole tearing apart a star far from its galaxy’s center, producing the fastest-changing radio signals ever recorded. The event, AT 2024tvd, revealed ...
The death of a star at the hands of a massive black hole in a galaxy 650 million light-years away has surprised astronomers, for not only taking place outside the center of the galaxy, where massive ...
A new study may visually solve an enduring mystery about a bright object that's been studied since the 19th century ...
Astronomers have caught a runaway black hole in the act of tearing apart a star in a place it shouldn’t be: far from the bustling center of its host galaxy. The stellar catastrophe – known as a tidal ...
