Early data of “little red dots,” or LRDs, from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) appeared to suggest the presence of ...

The team analysed 19 galaxies in the Spiderweb protocluster, located 11 billion light-years away. Eight of these galaxies host active supermassive black holes and exhibit little to no star formation.

The study revealed that many black holes spin faster than expected, suggesting they formed primarily through the smooth ...

Since it’s Christmas Day launch in 2021, the James Webb Space telescope has provided those of us back on Earth with some of the most incredible, awe-inspiring photographs of space, as well as aiding ...

Astronomers are very familiar with the twin jets launched from the poles of supermassive black holes. These structures can ...

In an article published in Physical Review Letters on Thursday, scientists carried out an innovative study testing the existence of mirror asymmetries in our universe by studying the handedness of the ...

Meeting of the American Astronomical Society, two teams of astronomers—centered at Penn State and MIT—independently announced new discoveries about an extreme form of planetary destruction: apparently ...

For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB)—an immensely powerful yet fleeting cosmic signal—to the outskirts of a massive elliptical galaxy located two billion light-years ...
