Ancient quasars seen by the James Webb Space Telescope technically shouldn’t exist, but one rare type of dark matter could ...

Scientists have detected the highest-energy ghost particle neutrino ever, but did it come from a supermassive black hole ...

Chinese astronomers have investigated quasar candidates from the DESI Legacy Surveys (DESI-LS) photometry catalog. As a result, they detected 19 strongly-lensed, dual and projected quasars. The ...

Astronomers have discovered a truly ancient monster: a radio jet 200,000 light-years wide, originating from when the universe ...

Abstract: Quasars in the Age of Time-Domain Astronomy: Black hole feeding, visible as quasars, is a critical ingredient in many fields from galaxy evolution to multi-messenger gravitational wave ...

14 in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. Quasars are among the oldest, brightest objects in the universe. Formed from active galactic nuclei (AGN) — areas at the center of galaxies where a black hole ...

The quasar in question is called J1601+3102. Its light comes to us from 1.2 billion years after the Big Bang. Quasars can sometimes weigh billions of times our Sun, but this one has a more modest mass ...

Experts have found water in the universe for the first time in history, and it could be one of the greatest achievements ever made ...

Astronomers have identified a quasar that may help explain how the universe’s “dark ages” finally ended. Astronomers have ...

The object, named J0742+2704, is classified as a quasar, a type of active galaxy with jets so brilliant that they outshine the rest of the galaxy, causing it to resemble a point-like star in images.
