NASA Finds Black Hole Rotating at Unexpected Angle in NGC 5084 Galaxy
NASA researchers have uncovered a black hole in the NGC 5084 galaxy that rotates at an unexpected angle, revealed through re-analysed Chandra X-ray data. The black hole is surrounded by unusual X-shaped plasma plumes, indicating disruptions in the galaxy's past. A tipped dusty disk further supports this, confirming the black hole's unique sideways ...

NASA Hubble Space Telescope Finds a High Number of Black Holes in the Early Universe
An international team of researchers, led by scientists from Stockholm University's Department of Astronomy, has discovered a higher number of black holes in the early universe than was previously recorded. Using the NASA Hubble Space Telescope, this team found black holes among faint galaxies formed shortly after the Big Bang event.

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...

Rare Mid-Sized Black Hole Spotted At Center Of Swallowed Galaxy: Study
Astronomers have scrutinized a cluster of stars that is the apparent remnant core of a relatively small galaxy that was swallowed by the sprawling Milky Way 8 to 10 billion years ago. What lurks at the center of this cluster has them excited.

New Technique Allows Researchers to Assess Life Cycle of Supermassive Black Holes
Supermassive black holes are a mysterious celestial phenomenon that have fascinated space enthusiasts and scientists alike for years. Researchers from Dartmouth College have conducted a study that analyses the light from supermassive black holes to better understand the life cycles of these supermassuve black holes.

Eight New Echoing Black Hole Binaries Discovered in Our Galaxy: MIT Researchers
Black holes are intriguing and mysterious objects. They are dreaded, too, because their gravitational pull is so strong that they do not allow anything to pass through them, not even light, except on the rare occasions when they feed. When a black hole pulls in gas and dust from an orbiting star, it sends out spectacular bursts of X-ray that bounce...

Dozens of Newly-Detected Gravitational-Wave Events May Help Better Understand Black Holes, Neutron Stars
Astrophysicists have found new 39 gravitational-wave events caused by collision of black holes and neutron stars far in the universe. These, along with previously observed 11 events, will help them understand the population of black holes and neutron stars across the universe.

NASA Finds Giant Burping Black Hole 26 Million Light Years Away
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has found evidence of powerful blasts of gases produced by a super massive black hole about 26 million light years from Earth, an event that may trigger the formation of new stars.

Indian Origin Astronomer-Led Team Spots Mid-Size Black Hole
In a first, a team including an Indian-origin astronomer has found evidence for a new intermediate-mass black hole about 5,000 times the mass of the Sun.

NASA discovers new black hole in Milky Way
NASA's Swift satellite has found evidence of the presence of a previously unknown stellar-mass black hole in our Milky Way galaxy. Named Swift J1745-26 after the coordinates of its sky position, the nova is located a few degrees from the centre of our galaxy towards the constellation Sagittarius, NASA said.
