Discover the power of black holes and their jets, and how they impact the formation of stars and potentially habitable worlds ...

making them the densest stellar clusters in the known universe — and this research seems to confirm that such nuclei are born ...

Whether a galactic environment has the right conditions for habitable planets to form could depend on how the black hole in that galaxy is rotating.

A new study reports the first direct observation of merging star clusters in the nuclear region of dwarf galaxies. This detection confirms the feasibility of this formation route for nuclei in dwarf ...

Astronomers have reached deeper into the heart of a brilliant cosmic engine than ever before, using NASA’s Hubble Space ...

When two galaxies collide and merge, gas is funneled into the central region of that merger. Some of that gas ends up getting close to the newly merged black hole and forms the accretion disk. There ...

mergers and details of galaxies and concluded that monster galaxies are in the heart of most galaxies. Also, Hubble’s observations better defined the universe’s expansion rate and that the ...
