A rare example of three active galactic nuclei in three merging galaxies has been discovered using two radio telescopes: the VLA and the VLBA. The triple system is cataloged as J1218/1219+1035. This targeted study, conducted by a team of researchers at various radio frequencies, has identified only the third case of a triple active galactic nucleus, the first confirmed through radio observations.

Flaring black hole whips up ultra-fast winds

Leading X-ray space telescopes XMM-Newton and XRISM have spotted an extraordinary blast from a supermassive black hole. In a matter of hours, the gravitational monster whipped up powerful winds, flinging material out into space at eye-watering speeds of 60 000 km per second.

@setiinstitute is this Galaxy similar to our, with its new found barred structure? Will the Milky Way have a similar ring around its monstrous SMBH core?

3 Black Holes Caught Eating Massive Stars in NASA Data

Black holes are invisible to us unless they interact with something else. Some continuously eat gas and dust, and appear to glow brightly over time as matter

This is the Million Earth star system, and you can see how useful Super Massive Black Holes can be.

I would imagine the local 'gods' would be fighting over our one at the centre of the Milky Way....

Six years since ALMA crucially helped the Event Horizon Telescope take the first image of a supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy… you can relive it all below!

Astronomers Capture the First Image of a Black Hole | ALMA Observatory

Press Conference Streaming The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration, was designed to capture images of a black hole. Today, in coordinated press conferences across the globe, EHT researchers reveal that they have succeeded, unveiling the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole...

The Large Magellanic Cloud is a satellite galaxy of our own, and like ours, it has a Super Massive Black Hole at its centre, holding the whole show together

Surprising stars reveal second-closest supermassive black hole

Just 165,000 light-years away, the Large Magellanic Cloud is suspected to house a supermassive black hole. At last, evidence has arrived.
