A Supermassive Black Hole At The Center Of The Milky Way Was Born From A Cataclysmic Merger With Another Giant Black Hole Billions Of Years Ago
The black hole spins incredibly fast, at an angle that does not align with the rest of the galaxy. For a long time, astronomers didn't know why that was, but new data from the Event Horizon Telescope has revealed a clue about the black hole's past.
Biggest black hole jets ever seen span 140 Milky Way galaxies
An artist's illustration of the longest black hole jet system ever observed. Nicknamed Porphyrion after a mythological Greek giant, these jets span roughly 7 megaparsecs, or 23 million light- years. That is equivalent to lining up 140 Milky Way galaxies back-to-back. Credit: E. Wernquist / D. Nelson (IllustrisTNG Collaboration) / M. Oei
Supermassive Black Hole at the Centre of the Milky Way Is Spinning Unexpectedly

Big Black Holes In Dwarf Galaxies
Visit Chandra's beautiful Universe dwarf galaxies Astronomers have discovered the first evidence for giant black holes in dwarf galaxies on a collision course. This result from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has important ramifications for understanding how the 1st wave of black holes and galaxies grew in the early universe.
