Scientists find wind blowing from our Milky Way's black hole after half-century search: 'There it is'

Scientists find wind blowing from our Milky Way's black hole after half-century search: 'There it is' "There is the thing that everybody’s been looking for for 50 years." After searching for 50 years, astronomers have finally discovered evidence of powerful winds blowing from Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy. The discovery represents a deepening of our understanding of the physics at play both around supermassive black holes and at the heart of...

Astronomers discover the earliest known flickering quasar

Astronomers discover the earliest known flickering quasar Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor A supermassive black hole lies at the heart of every galaxy, including the Milky Way. When a black hole is active, it pulls material in as a whirlpool of high-temperature gas and dust. As this cosmic material piles up and falls onto a black hole, it lights up its vicinity, radiating a huge amount of energy.

JWST 'weighs' dormant black hole 10 billion light-years away

JWST 'weighs' dormant black hole 10 billion light-years away Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The most distant, nearly invisible dormant black hole has been detected and "weighed" by an international team of astronomers that includes researchers from UCL. The study, published in Science, identified a dormant black hole at the heart of a galaxy known as MRG-M0138 located over 10 billion light years away. It is the most distant dormant black hole yet detected, 15...

James Webb Space Telescope weighs 'sleeping giant' black hole from 10 billion light-years away — and it's 6 billion times our sun's mass

James Webb Space Telescope weighs 'sleeping giant' black hole from 10 billion light-years away — and it's 6 billion times our sun's mass "We can now undertake a more complete census of how black holes develop over time and infer their role in shaping galaxy evolution." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have "weighed" a sleeping giant — a dormant supermassive black hole located a staggering 10 billion light-years away. That makes this black hole the most distant...

Strange 'spacetime crystals' could give birth to tiny black holes

Strange 'spacetime crystals' could give birth to tiny black holes "Sometimes a tiny, seemingly insignificant cause is enough to trigger a huge and dramatic change." When we think about a black hole, we probably picture some vast cosmic titan, greedily consuming any matter unfortunate enough to fall within its gravitational influence. Thinking deeper, we probably imagine this ravenous cosmic beast forming from the explosive collapse of the core of a massive star.

These record-breaking black hole winds could create a category 79 hurricane on Earth

These record-breaking black hole winds could create a category 79 hurricane on Earth "This wind is unlike anything on Earth." Astronomers have discovered a distant quasar — or active nucleus of a galaxy — that's powered by a feeding supermassive black hole blasting out winds at record-breaking speeds of 30% the speed of light, around 201 million miles (323 million kilometers) per hour. This is the fastest black hole wind seen specifically in ultraviolet wavelengths.
