Astronomers have spotted a monster black hole in the early universe that’s gorging on matter at more than twice the theoretical limit. The discovery deepens the mystery of how some black holes born shortly after the Big Bang managed to grow so big, so fast. Using NASA‘s Chandra X-ray Observatory — a powerful X-ray telescope at risk of being terminated …

A supermassive black hole lurking at the center of M87, a supergiant galaxy 55 million light-years from Earth, is acting far more strangely than anticipated. Since 2017, astronomers from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) — an international collaboration combining a global network of radio telescopes — have closely watched the enormous gaping maw, resulting in the first-ever images of a …

The family of a 21-year-old Black student who was found hanging from a tree on a university campus in Mississippi is demanding answers after his death was ruled a suicide by the state medical examiner. The body of Demartravion “Trey” Reed was found on Delta State University’s campus in Cleveland by police on Monday. His death sparked outrage and allegations …

In February 2016, scientists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (LIGO) announced the first detection of gravitational waves (GW). These ripples in space time, originally predicted by Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, are caused by the merger of massive objects (like neutron stars and black holes). Since then, gravitational wave observatories like LIGO, VIRGO, and the Kamioka Gravitational Wave …

A black hole is growing at one of the fastest rates ever recorded, according to a team of astronomers. This discovery from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory may help explain how some black holes can reach enormous masses relatively quickly after the big bang. The black hole weighs about a billion times the mass of the Sun and is located about …

Astronomers have used an X-ray spacecraft called XRISM to observe powerful winds blowing from a neutron star — the findings could be a “game changer” for physics. The team discovered unexpected differences between powerful and energetic winds blowing from swirling disks of gas and dust, called accretion disks, around extreme “dead stars,” or neutron stars, and winds that flow from …

One of the first black holes ever imaged is even stranger than we thought, new images of its dramatically changing environment reveal. The object, known as M87*, has experienced unexpected changes in its magnetic fields that are showing up in polarized light — meaning, light waves that are orientated in the same way (such as vertically, or horizontally). Astronomers are …

CLEVELAND, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi police on Wednesday awaited autopsy results for a Black student found hanging from a tree at Delta State University, in a case that has ignited strong emotions in a state with a history of racist violence. The 21-year-old student was found near the campus pickleball courts early Monday. While police have said they saw no …
