supermassive-black-holes

Astronomers are debating the nature of mysterious 'little red dots' observed by the James Webb Space Telescope, with some proposing they are a new type of object called black hole stars.

Astronomers have detected star S301, the fastest known star in the Milky Way, orbiting the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* and potentially enabling measurements of its spin.

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey announces Data Release 20, featuring the Black Hole Mapper's first southern hemisphere optical observations and coordinated eROSITA X-ray identification, mapping over half a million supermassive black holes across the sky.

Astronomers using JWST have directly observed a cosmic recycling cycle where gas heated by a black hole's jets cools into filaments that fall back, feeding the black hole. This confirms why supermassive black holes never run out of fuel.
