A supermassive black hole in J1007+3540 has roared back to life after 100 million years, firing jets across nearly one million light years and revealing a turbulent battle inside a galaxy cluster.

Learn how supermassive black holes may be suppressing star formation in nearby galaxies.

The NASA/JAXA X-ray spacecraft has allowed astronomers to dive into the metaphorical "eye of the storm" swirling around supermassive black holes.

New research suggests that the heart of the Milky Way may be dominated by a dense clump of dark matter rather than the ...

Scientists have discovered that active supermassive black holes don't just kill their home galaxies, but can also eradicate star formation for their neighbors.

During the survey, researchers identified a promising 8.19-millisecond pulsar (MSP) candidate located close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Imagine a jet of energy so powerful that it makes even Star Wars’ Death Star look tiny. That’s reportedly what astronomers are seeing from a supermass.

Observations of a distant quasar reveal that supermassive black holes may suppress star formation across intergalactic distances.
