Universe Today reported on January 27, 2026, that researchers identified a distant quasar hosting a supermassive black hole accreting material at rates far above the Eddington limit while remaining ...

Artist’s impression of the powerful winds blowing from the bright X-ray source GX13+1. The X-rays are coming from a disc of hot matter, known as an accretion disc, that is gradually spiralling down to ...

Japanese researchers have proposed that immense gas streams may explain how high-mass stars manage to grow despite releasing powerful stellar winds and radiation that should otherwise halt their ...

This repository contains simulations for accretion disks of black holes based on initial conditions. Numbers are added onto acc to stress the increasing complexity of the variables added into the ...

One of the most powerful objects in the universe is a radio quasar—a spinning black hole spraying out highly energetic particles. Come too close to one, and you'd get sucked in by its gravitational ...

A black hole is an object so massive that it warps the fabric of space-time, and its gravity is so strong that not even light can escape from it. Trump angered by news that Ukraine may have hit ...
