Black Hole

An image of galaxy GS-10578, or "Pablo's Galaxy", which astronomers think was starved of its star-forming gas due to a supermassive black hole. (Image credit: JADES Collaboration) New observations of a strange galaxy show it was slowly starved to death by its own black hole . Two telescopes peered deep…

Scattered throughout the universe are colossal galaxies that appear to be dead, no longer capable of forming new stars. One of the oldest dead galaxies has just recently been surveyed, confirming that its death sentence was set by a black hole that whittled away at its most important star-making resource.…

January 8, 2026 4 min read Add Us On Google Add SciAm Weird, Wobbling Black Hole Jets Can Shape Entire Galaxies A wobbling jet from a giant, voracious black hole is suppressing star formation in a distant galaxy—and astronomers have never seen anything quite like it before By Jacek Krywko…

A detailed suite of simulations conducted by astrophysicists at the Flatiron Institute and their collaborators showed that magnetic fields can produce black holes with masses that were previously believed to be mostly unattainable. In 2023, astronomers recorded a dramatic cosmic event. Two unusually large black holes collided about 7 billion…

How confusing inevitability with reality built decades of paradox. What if general relativity never actually tells us that black holes already exist, but only that their formation is inevitable in an infinite future we can never observe? In a new theory, Daryl Janzen, a physicist at the University of Saskatchewan…
