New analysis suggests Webb’s little red dots are young black holes hidden in thick gas, with masses far smaller than first thought.
"We can study a diverse population of supermassive black holes and their radio jets at different stages of their evolution." ...
Kitchen Pantry Scientist Liz Heinecke shares some science experiments for kids. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned about ...
A newly detected X-ray transient may reveal the first direct evidence of an intermediate-mass black hole consuming a white dwarf. A newly observed cosmic outburst is giving astronomers a rare glimpse ...
The expolision of a black hole could explain the origins of a mysterious high-energy neutrino detected in 2023, as well as shedding more light on the mystery of dark matter in the process. In 2023, a ...
Physicists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst argue that an ultra-high-energy neutrino detected by the KM3NeT experiment could be the signature of an explosion of a ‘quasi-extremal primordial ...

In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been impossible. In fact, there are no known sources anywhere in the universe ...
Scientists have traced a 3,000-light-year-long cosmic jet streaming out from the first black hole ever imaged to its likely source point with the help of "significantly enhanced coverage" from the ...

An artist's concept of a tidal disruption event (TDE), which happens when a star passes close to a supermassive black hole. The gravity of the black hole pulls material from the star and launches a ...
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has discovered that most of the light around the Circinus galaxy's central black hole is coming from hot dust feeding it rather than the material getting blasted out.
