Researchers find 'excessively' large red supermassive black hole in early universe - study

 This artist’s impression shows the record-breaking quasar J059-4351, the bright core of a distant galaxy that is powered by a supermassive black hole.

This is the universe's brightest light, fueled by the hungriest black hole

 This artist's illustration shows a cross-section of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, warping spacetime to look like a football.

Our galaxy's supermassive black hole makes spacetime look like a football - study

 This artist's concept shows a supermassive black hole at the center of a remote galaxy digesting the remnants of a star.

Black holes existed since the dawn of time, study finds in major discovery - study

A star disrupted by a supermassive black hole. As the star wanders past the black hole, the tidal field of the hole rips apart the star. The picture shows the result of the simulation carried out by Steinberg and Stone.

Scientists spot edge of supermassive black hole for first time accidentally - study

 This artist’s impression depicts a star being torn apart by an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH), surrounded by an accretion disc.

Scientists unveil secrets of star violently torn apart near black hole

 This movie shows a complete revolution around a simulated black hole and its accretion disk following a path that is perpendicular to the disk (Illustrative).

Black holes will die, evaporate away – and so will everything else - study

Israeli astrophysicists may have solved the mystery of early massive galaxies

 This is an artist's impression of a runaway supermassive black hole that was ejected from its host galaxy as a result of a tussle between it and two other black holes. As the black hole plows through intergalactic space it compresses gas and forms stars (Illustrative).

Astronomers capture first image of a black hole expelling powerful jet

 Swift X-ray observations of galaxy NGC 5408 indicate its ultraluminous X-ray source undergoes periodic changes every 115.5 days. This cycle, astronomers suspect, is linked to the orbit of a donor star around a middleweight black hole, as shown in this artist's view.
