NASA's Chandra and NuSTAR telescopes have teamed up to study a supermassive black hole-powered quasar that could have played a key role in ending the cosmic dark ages.

A supermassive black hole has been discovered by astronomers that's shooting a giant energy beam directly at Earth.

Astronomers have detected the most ancient blazar ever observed, originating from the early universe and emitting a beam of energy directly at Earth.

Astronomers discover a supermassive black hole, weighing 700 million suns, firing a giant energy beam directly at Earth from 12.9 billion light-years away, marking the most distant 'blazar' ever found.

Scientists are diving deep into the origins of supermassive black holes, using recent gravitational wave detections as a key tool. By leveraging signals from smaller black holes, researchers hope to detect the harder-to-catch waves from supermassive pairs,

Strange x-ray pulses hint at a surprisingly long-lived white dwarf orbiting precariously close to a supermassive black hole

Most picture the night sky as an endless sea of twinkling stars. But if your eyes could see the universe in X-rays, you’d spot thousands upon thousands of bright points representing giant black holes feeding on gas and dust.

According to scientists, there could be more black holes in the universe than previously thought. Researchers reckon astronomers could be missing between 30 per cent and 50 per cent of the feeding supermassive black holes,

Active galactic nuclei are supermassive black holes at the center of certain galaxies. As matter falls into these black holes, enormous amounts of energy are released, making active galactic nuclei, or AGN,
