Strange Universe Like a parasite sucking the life force out of its host, an international group of scientists have determined that a supermassive black hole is starving a galaxy of essential materials to make new stars.

The largest known black hole jets, 23 million light years across, have been discovered in the distant universe. This pair of particle beams launched by a supermassive black hole is over a hundred times larger than our galaxy,

The largest-ever black hole jets ever seen hint that these cosmic monsters may play an even more significant role in shaping galaxies than previously thought.

Astronomers found the biggest pair of black hole jets ever observed, stretching 23 million light years. and named this system Porphyrion.

Scientists have discovered the longest pair of jets streaming from a black hole in a distant galaxy. Black holes eat most space debris that falls their way.

There's only one thing it could be: a black hole, one with a petite size that's smack bang in the middle of a mysterious void in the data known as the lower mass gap. Named G3425, it might have a lot to teach us about tiny black holes according to an analysis.

Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery: a swarm of over 100 stellar-mass black holes is traversing through the Milky Way within the star cluster known as Palomar 5. This extraordinary cluster,
