Supermassive black hole with a mass three million times of the sun is MOVING 110,000mph through a galaxy 230 million light-years from Earth that could be the aftermath of two merging together Scientists found the clearest evidence of a moving supermassive black hole It is moving 110,000mph in a galaxy 230 million light-years from Earth … Read more
Most distant supermassive black hole known to science is detected by astronomers more than 13 BILLION light years from Earth Researchers used the ALMA telescope array in Chile to discover the quasar A quasar is a type of supermassive black hole that is releasing a lot of energy This object was discovered when the universe … Read more
Some supermassive black holes may be entrances to WORMHOLES that could transport spacecraft to distant parts of the universe, astrophysicists suggest Very active galaxies with an active galactic nuclei are ‘candidates’ for wormholes Scientists believe these galactic cores connect distant points in time and space They are ‘traversable wormholes’ rather than a supermassive black hole … Read more

Earth is 2,000 light-years closer to a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy than first thought Japan’s space agency has created a new map of the Milky Way The team has been collecting data for the past 15 years, revealing new insights Earth is only 25,800 light years away from a supermassive … Read more

Death by ‘spaghettification’: Scientists capture a star being shredded into thin streams of gas as it is devoured by a supermassive black hole The extreme gravitational forces from the black hole tore material off of the star Normally, these so-called ‘tidal disruption events’ are hidden by clouds of dust This obscuring matter comes from the … Read more
Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity – the idea that gravity is matter warping spacetime- has faced more than 100 years of scrutiny, but a new discovery may hold wait to the physicist’s hypothesis. Researchers at the University of Arizona uncovered a ‘shadow’ cast by the supermassive black hole, known as M87, which proves Einstein … Read more
A star orbiting the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy does so in a way that proves physicist Albert Einstein right – again. The star, called S2, orbits Sagittarius A* in a rosette shape, blipping out from the elliptical orbit at random points – an idea predicted by Einstein over … Read more
An amazing image of high-energy jets of plasma produced by a supermassive black hole has been captured for the first time. Researchers from the Event Horizon Telescope say the jets, spotted in galaxy M 87, were being launched from the giant black hole at 99.5 per cent of light speed. The black hole that launched … Read more
