Supermassive black holes appear to be present at the center of every galaxy, going back to some of the earliest galaxies in the Universe. And we have no idea how they got there. It shouldn’t be ...

UK astronomers using the 15-m James Clerk Maxwell Telescope in Hawaii have discovered enormous quantities of cosmic dust in the most distant quasar yet observed. The quasar, called SDSS J1148+5251 is ...

Observations confirm astronomers' expectation that early-Universe quasars formed in regions of space densely populated with companion galaxies. DECam's exceptionally wide field of view and special ...

Observations made by Chile's ALMA telescope have revealed a gigantic quasar quenching a galaxy's star formation — a first-of-its-kind observation in the early universe. When you purchase through links ...

A cluster of eleven quasars on a galactic boundary challenges existing models, prompting a rethink of quasar formation in large-scale cosmic structures. (Nanowerk News) A newly discovered cluster of ...

Theoretical predictions have been confirmed with the discovery of an outflow of molecular gas from a quasar when the Universe was less than a billion years old. Theoretical predictions have been ...

Astronomers have used the unique capabilities of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to peer closer than ever into the throat of an energetic monster black hole powering a quasar. A quasar is a galactic ...
