There could be a supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud hurling stars at the Milky Way
Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) were first theorized to exist in the late 1980s. In 2005, the first discoveries were confirmed. HVSs travel much faster than normal stars, and sometimes, they can exceed the galactic escape velocity.
Videos: first binary star discovered near the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy 🌀
An international team of researchers has detected a binary star orbiting near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole located at the center of our galaxy. This is the first time a pair of
Supermassive black holes in 'little red dot' galaxies are 1,000 times larger than they should be, and astronomers don't know why
"Our measurements imply that the supermassive black hole mass is 10% of the stellar mass in the galaxies we studied."
NASA Unveils a Hidden Universe of Supermassive Black Holes
By combining data from NASA’s IRAS and NuSTAR telescopes, scientists have uncovered more hidden supermassive black holes than earlier estimates suggested. Their findings indicate that over a third of these black holes are obscured by thick gas and dust,
Astronomers Discover the Most Colossal Black Hole Jet Ever Observed in the Early Universe
Astronomers have detected an enormous black hole-powered jet that stretches an astonishing 200,000 light-years, making it twice as long as the Milky Way. This colossal cosmic jet, erupting from the quasar J1601+3102,
