The black hole was bigger than expected, and while the answer was hiding in plain sight, it still rewrites what we thought was possible. Reading time 4 minutes When LIGO broke news of an ...

A new simulation could help solve one of astronomy’s longstanding mysteries—how supermassive black holes formed so rapidly—along with a new one: What are the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) ...

Astronomers have spotted the largest and most distant flare ever observed from a supermassive black hole. Nicknamed “Superman,” the flare originated 10 billion light-years from Earth, and at its peak, ...
