Hickox; Optical/IR: Pan-STARRS The discovery of a supermassive black hole in a relatively small galaxy could help astronomers unravel the mystery surrounding how the very biggest black holes grow. Researchers used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to identify a black hole containing about 200,000…

Astronomers captured a stunning image of a black hole eruption in the galaxy Centaurus A. When seen from Earth, the ejection from Centaurus A presently expands eight degrees across the sky—the length of 16 full Moons laid next to each other. It was captured using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA)…

Google Saturday's Google Doodle pays homage to the late Stephen Hawking, perhaps the most famous scientist of his time, who sought to explain the universe to millions.
