NASA Highlights Distant Barred Spiral Galaxy With Unique Shape And Unusual Core Activity
In the case of NGC 4394, scientists believe that gravitational interaction with a nearby galaxy may have pushed gas toward its centre.

Scientists Spot Ultra-Fast Pulsar Near Milky Way’s Supermassive Black Hole
Scientists have detected a possible ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds near the Milky Way’s central black hole. If confirmed, this rare object could act as a precise cosmic clock, helping researchers study how gravity behaves in extreme environments and offering a powerful new way to test Einstein’s theory of general relativity ...

A Massive Black Hole Starved Pablo’s Galaxy, Ending Its Star Formation
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope and ALMA have uncovered how a massive black hole shut down star formation in Pablo’s Galaxy. Powerful winds expelled gas at hundreds of kilometres per second, leaving almost no cold fuel behind. The findings suggest many early galaxies did not die explosively, but were slowly starved by their centr...

Hubble Data Reveals Previously Invisible ‘Gas Spur’ Spilling From Galaxy NGC 4388’s Core
The elliptical galaxy NGC 4388, situated in the Virgo Cluster approximately 60 million light-years from Earth, features an intriguing long tail of glowing gas, as shown in a recent image uploaded to the Hubble site in late 2025. This galaxy, viewed edge-on from Earth’s perspective, displays a bright spur of ionized gas spilling out from its core....

Hubble Captures Gas Escaping Sideways Spiral Galaxy NGC 4388 in Virgo Cluster
Hubble has captured a glowing plume of gas escaping the spiral galaxy NGC 4388 in the Virgo cluster. Moving through hot intracluster gas, the galaxy sheds material, partially energised by its central black hole. Multi-wavelength observations reveal the impact of both environmental forces and central activity on galaxy evolution.

Tiny Red Dots Spotted By NASA’s James Webb Telescope Could Be Black Hole Stars
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope revealed mysterious “little red dots” that seem too bright and mature for their age. A new study suggests they may be black hole stars—giant hydrogen spheres powered by black holes—helping explain the rapid growth of early supermassive black holes.

Biggest-Ever Black Hole With Mass Of 36 Billion Suns Discovered: 'Cosmic Behemoth'
The gigantic black hole's size is close to the theoretical upper limit of what is possible in the universe.

Astronomers Detect Black Hole 36 Billion Times the Sun’s Mass, Among Largest Ever Found
Astronomers have detected a dormant black hole with a mass equal to 36 billion Suns in the Cosmic Horseshoe system, 5 billion light-years away. Identified via gravitational lensing and stellar motion, it ranks among the largest known black holes. The discovery sheds light on the link between galaxy size and central black hole growth.

NASA’s Chandra Reveals Stunning Multi-Wavelength Image of Andromeda Galaxy
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has released a stunning composite image of the Andromeda galaxy, combining data across the electromagnetic spectrum. This multi-wavelength view highlights X-ray flares near the central black hole and pays tribute to Dr. Vera Rubin’s pioneering dark matter research. The image, also presented through a musical son...

New Theory Challenges Black Hole Singularities, But Critics Raise Red Flags
A new black hole theory proposes a fix to the long-standing singularity paradox by modifying gravity equations. But scientists like Nikodem Poplawski argue that the model lacks observational support and rests on speculative assumptions. He suggests future data from gravitational waves or the cosmic microwave background may one day help us uncover t...

New Black Hole Theory Challenges Singularity: What You Need to Know
A new study has put forward a black hole model that eliminates the central singularity, a concept that has long troubled physicists. Researchers suggest modifying Einstein’s field equations to prevent mathematical values from reaching infinity at a black hole’s core. This approach could reshape our understanding of gravity, black holes, and eve...

When Two Massive Black Holes Merged And Went Flying Across Cosmos
The researchers propose that this ejection resulted from the collision of two galaxies, causing their central black holes to merge into a larger one.

Newly Discovered Star Travels Around the Milky Way’s Central Black Hole in Four Years, Study Says
Researchers have discovered that a recently discovered star travels around the black hole at the centre of our galaxy in only four years. Located in the S cluster, the prominent S2 star has been confirmed to travel around the central supermassive black hole in four years, thanks to a total of five telescopes that were used to observe the star. Fou...
