Everything about the Infinity Galaxy, recently discovered by the JWST, is strange. One odd feature could be the 1st evidence of a "direct collapse" black hole.

Observations from the Event Horizon Telescope may reveal a secret merger in our supermassive black hole's past, potentially explaining the cosmic monster's unusual spin.

In summer, we face toward the Milky Way's hub in the Teapot constellation, home to the galaxy's supermassive black hole.

These are rare occurrences—scientists estimate that the giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy gobbles a star about every million years or so. But when it happens, it releases a tremendous amount of light and energy visible millions or even billions of light-years away.

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with millions of synthetic images to uncover surprising new insights into Sagittarius A*,

The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. At the same time several telescopes, including the Chandra X-ray Observatory,
