Astronomers have detected a mid-infrared flare from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy for the very first time, and it’s shedding new light on the complex physics driving ...

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 ...

A black hole infamous for strange features has once again baffled astronomers, this time with rapid X-ray flashes. What could ...

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

Sagittarius A* has been seen by human eyes with an "image produced by a global research team called the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration" according to the European Southern Observatory. The ...

Black hole ASASSN-22ci consumed a star from a binary system A rare double-flash TDE was observed, with two flares 720 days apart A third flare is predicted in 2026, offering insights into TDE ...

Scientists have detected emanating from the nucleus of a galaxy relatively close to our Milky Way flashes of X-rays gradually increasing in frequency that seem to be coming from a white dwarf - a ...

Scientists have observed X-rays emanating from a white dwarf orbiting a supermassive black hole in a galaxy near the Milky Way. The study notes the stability of the dwarf's orbit, despite its ...

Using the MIRI instrument onboard of the James Webb Space Telescope, an international team of scientists made the first-ever detection of a mid-IR flare from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive massive ...
