NASA's Swift Observatory Discovers Twin Black Holes Disturbing Galactic Gas Clouds
NASA's Swift Observatory has recorded a unique signal from two orbiting black holes interacting with a gas cloud in a distant galaxy. This phenomenon, called AT 2021hdr, is marked by recurring gas disturbances due to the black holes' orbit, which astronomers believe could eventually lead to their merger. Observations continue, promising insights in...

NASA’s Chandra Telescope Observes Mysterious 'Knots' Blasting from Nearby Black Hole Jets
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has unveiled mysterious "knots" in the jet of a supermassive black hole in Centaurus A, a nearby galaxy. These bright, fast-moving features exhibit a higher speed in X-rays than in radio wavelengths, hinting at unexplored physics in black hole jets. Despite financial uncertainties surrounding Chandra's operations,...

Chandra X-ray Observatory Spots Unusual Knots in Black Hole Jets
Astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have found knots moving at different speeds within jets blasted by the black hole at the centre of the Centaurus A galaxy. The X-ray data revealed that these knots travel faster in X-ray wavelengths than in radio wavelengths. This discovery raises questions about how these jets work, with astronome...

Astronomers Identify Black Hole Consuming Matter 40 Times Its Theoretical Limit
Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have discovered LID-568, a black hole that is consuming matter at a rate over 40 times the theoretical Eddington limit. This discovery, made in a galaxy formed only 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, sheds light on how supermassive black holes might have evolved rapidly in the early universe. R...

NASA Unveils Prototype Telescope for LISA Mission, Gravitational Wave Detection from Space
NASA has introduced the prototype telescope for its LISA mission, set to detect gravitational waves from space. This mission, a collaboration with the European Space Agency, involves spacecraft using lasers to measure precise distances, enabling the detection of cosmic events like black hole mergers. The prototype telescope, which arrived at NASA...

JWST Spots Isolated Supermassive Black Hole-Powered Quasars in the Early Universe
A team using the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered supermassive black hole-powered quasars in unexpectedly isolated environments. These lonely quasars, some of the earliest in the universe, present a mystery as they lack the dense surroundings that current theories suggest are needed for black hole growth. This discovery is pushing scientis...

India’s AstroSat and NASA's Space Observatories Collaborate to Unravel Black Hole’s Mystery
Researchers from NASA and India’s ISRO have collaborated to study the interaction between a massive black hole and a star that ventured too close. Using multiple observatories, including AstroSat, they discovered the link between tidal disruption events and quasi-periodic eruptions. This research offers new insights into the expanding debris disk...

NASA James Webb Space Telescope Unearths Oversupply of UV Light from Early Stars and Black Holes
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed surprising new details about the universe's reionization process. The telescope has found an unexpected oversupply of ultraviolet (UV) light emitted by early stars and giant black holes, contradicting previous theories. This discovery suggests a more complex reionization process, potentially d...
