“We could already see changes in the jet, but never with this level of detail in X-rays.”
The quasar existed 12.9 billion years ago and shows that supermassive black holes were able to age rapidly in the early universe.
…
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope may be close to solving the mystery of “little red dots” in the early universe.
…
The complex puzzle known as little red dots has become more complete since their initial discovery by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope in 2022. Now a particular little red dot’s spectrum is helping connect many of the pieces. A team of astronomers led by Vasily Kokorev at the University of Texas at Austin identified the […]
Using just a pen and paper, a team of scientists has calculated how space and time could crystallize to form tiny black holes.
…
Astronomers have discovered a distant quasar powered by a feeding supermassive black hole blasting out winds at record-breaking speeds for such an outflow seen in ultraviolet light, traveling at 30% the speed of light.
…
After searching for 50 years, astronomers have finally discovered powerful winds blowing from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy.
…
New research suggests primordial black holes born during the Big Bang could live much longer than previously estimated — long enough to become energy-spewing white holes.
…
This could change our understanding of how the cosmic titans collide.
Observations of “Little Red Dot” ancient galaxies by the James Webb Space Telescope could answer the question: which comes first, the black hole or its galaxy? The shocking answer could represent a complete paradigm shift….
