Using the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) onboard the International Space Station (ISS), astronomers have ...

What is Space Jaws? A covert black hole revealed itself to astronomers in 2025 with a spectacular burst of radiation known as ...

Astronomers have detected a rare black hole outside a galaxy’s core devouring a star in the first known offset tidal ...

UC Berkeley astronomers discovered a rogue black hole devouring a star 2,600 lightyears from its galaxy's core — the first ...

NASA's Hubble captured a rare event 600 million light-years away: a black hole devouring a star in a Tidal Disruption Event (TDE). This "offset" TDE, named AT2024tvd, suggests the black hole isn't ...

Astronomers have observed a tidal disruption event, AT2024tvd, caused by a rogue supermassive black hole devouring a star far from its galaxy's center. This marks the first time a TDE has been ...

That flare of light, a tidal disruption event recorded by telescopes on Earth, was named AT2024tvd, and its detection revealed something very peculiar about the galaxy 600 million light-years away ...

Now, about a year later, we know it's the first tidal disruption event—meaning a star being ripped apart by a supermassive black hole—identified at visual wavelengths. It's also a rather ...

It was this radiation burst, called a tidal disruption event (TDE), that allowed the researchers to identify the black hole. The TDE called AT2024tvd was notable for a particularly unusual reason ...

Astronomers have spotted a supermassive black hole eating a star. This happened far from the center of its galaxy. The event, ...
