Figuring out whether a galaxy has one or two black holes in its center isn't as easy as cracking an egg and examining the yolk. But measuring how often these binary supermassive black holes form ...

Every galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center, much like every egg has a yolk. But sometimes, hens lay eggs with two yolks. In a similar way, astrophysicists like us who study supermassive ...

A microquasar belonging to our Milky Way galaxy has set records by generating cosmic rays with energy levels never before ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

Astrophysicists are marveling at the latest celestial discovery made near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole. Scientists have uncovered the existence of a binary star system close to the ...

Researchers find binary stars orbiting near Milky Way's supermassive black hole “Black holes are not as destructive as we thought,” the study's lead author said.

Apples-to-apples comparisons in the distant universe are hard to come by. Whether the subject is dwarf galaxies, supermassive black holes, or 'hot Jupiters,' astronomers can spend months or years ...

An array of 350 radio telescopes in the Karoo desert of South Africa is getting closer to detecting "cosmic dawn"—the era after the Big Bang when stars first ignited and galaxies began to bloom.

But measuring how often these binary supermassive black holes form can help researchers understand what happens to galaxies when they merge. In a new study, our team dug through historical ...
