An international team of astronomers has used more than 500 images from the NASA/European Space Agency (ESA) Hubble Space Telescope spanning two decades to detect seven fast-moving stars in the ...
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory joined forces to find an elusive intermediate mass black holes in ...
The star cluster Omega Centauri contains millions of stars. The movement of some stars suggests that an intermediate-sized black hole lies at its center. (NASA/ESA/STScI/AURA) Astronomers have used ...
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are among the most powerful explosions in the universe, second only to the Big Bang. The majority of ...
Astronomers have leveraged NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to uncover evidence suggesting the presence of an elusive intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) within the core of the globular star cluster ...
The likely position of Omega Centauri star cluster’s intermediate black hole. From left to right, each panel zooms in closer to the system. Omega Centauri is a spectacular collection of 10 million ...
An international team of astronomers used more than 500 images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope – spanning two decades of observations – to detect seven fast-moving stars in the innermost region of ...
Astronomers have spotted a rare "'missing link"' black hole, and it's lurking right in the center of our galaxy. The IRS 13 star cluster has long been a puzzle for astronomers. Located just a tenth of ...
For the first time, astronomers have spotted a middleweight black hole in the nearby universe. The discovery could help solve the riddle of how even heftier black holes form and grow up with their ...
Among the more puzzling cosmic phenomena discovered over the past few decades are brief and very bright flashes of blue and ultraviolet light that gradually fade away, leaving behind faint X-ray and ...
NASA/ESA/STScI/AURA Astronomers have used the Hubble Space Telescope to find evidence of an elusive kind of black hole, one that’s about 8,000 times more massive than our sun. What makes this black ...
