The Cosmic Horseshoe gravitational lens: The newly discovered ultramassive blackhole lies at the centre of the orange galaxy. Far behind it is a blue galaxy that is being warped into the horseshoe shaped ring by distortions in spacetime created by the immense mass of the foreground orange galaxy.

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Fermi bubbles are two enormous orbs of gas and cosmic rays that tower over the Milky Way, covering a region roughly as large as the galaxy itself. These giant space bubbles may be fueled by a strong outflow of matter from the …

Hyundai is now offering an “optional” security upgrade for the Ioniq 5 in the UK that prevents the car being stolen with a Game Boy-like device. Hyundai wants some Ioniq 5 owners to pay £49 ($65) to upgrade hardware and software components to prevent thieves using handheld devices to unlock and start cars without needing a key. Kia, Hyundai, and …

A black hole deep in the cosmos, some 5 billion light-years away, could be the most massive ever found. The galaxy SDSS J1148+1930 harbors a behemoth, around 36.3 billion times the mass of our Sun, according to new measurements. That places the black hole’s mass very close to the practical upper limit. For context, the Milky Way’s central black hole …

Two of the strangest structures in the galaxy just got even stranger. Ballooning above and below the Milky Way‘s center like a massive hourglass, the mysterious Fermi bubbles loom large over our galaxy. These enormous twin orbs of superheated plasma have been gushing out of the galactic center for millions of years. Today, they span some 50,000 light-years from tip …

Astronomers using the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaiʻi and NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have identified a rare cosmic structure they call the Infinity Galaxy — a figure-eight-shaped remnant of two colliding galaxies that may be giving birth to a supermassive black hole. According to a new paper published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters on July 15, 2025, …

A team of astronomers says it has identified the most distant black hole ever confirmed — a cosmic heavyweight that formed just 500 million years after the Big Bang, when the universe was only about 3% of its current age. The discovery sets a new benchmark for how early supermassive black holes can form and raises questions about their origin …
