  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.

  James Webb Confirms First Runaway Supermassive Black Hole Rocking Through Space

  The James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed the first runaway supermassive black hole, moving at 2.2 million mph through the Cosmic Owl galaxies. Pushing a galaxy-sized shockwave and leaving a long trail of star-forming gas, this discovery confirms long-standing theories about black hole ejections and opens the door to finding more cosmic speedste...

  James Webb Space Telescope Could Help Reveal Dark Matter in a Way Scientists Did Not Anticipate

  New research suggests the James Webb Space Telescope could help scientists understand dark matter by studying oddly shaped early galaxies. These elongated galaxies may form due to dark matter’s gravitational behaviour, offering indirect clues about whether ultralight or warm dark matter particles shaped the early universe.

  ESA Telescopes Capture Ultra-Fast Winds Blasting From Distant Supermassive Black Hole

  Astronomers have witnessed an extraordinary black hole outburst in the galaxy NGC 3783, where material was blasted into space at nearly 20% the speed of light. Triggered by an intense X-ray flare, the ultra-fast winds reveal how supermassive black holes can violently shape their surroundings and influence the evolution of entire galaxies.
