Twin jets erupt from a supermassive black hole in Draco, offering new insights into black hole activity and evolution.

A supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy is once again surprising scientists. In 2018, a black hole called 1ES 1927+654, ...

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 ...

Supermassive black holes are not picky eaters. They placidly sit at the center of galaxies, but if material gets too close, they’ll voraciously gorge on it. Stars have been disrupted and eaten too ...

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

Strange x-ray pulses hint at a surprisingly long-lived white dwarf orbiting precariously close to a supermassive black hole ...

The weird outbursts of a distant supermassive black hole may be caused by a death-defying white dwarf walking a cosmic tight rope around it.

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 ...
