How did supermassive black holes come to be? Astronomers have two hypotheses for their formation, and now one of them might have gotten the first tantalizing piece of direct evidence. Researchers ...

Discoveries keep pouring out of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Researchers observed an unusual cluster, which they dubbed the Infinity Galaxy. It appears to support a leading theory on how ...

Something unusual may have risen from the ashes of an epic smashup. In the middle of a galaxy shaped like an infinity symbol — thought to be the result of two galaxies colliding — sits a supermassive ...

NEW HAVEN — A Yale University-led team of scientists say they’ve made a groundbreaking discovery: the possible birth of a supermassive black hole. The newborn black hole is believed to have formed at ...

A team of astronomers have discovered a curious figure in the universe. It is two distant galaxies colliding with each other to form a larger structure. From Earth’s perspective, the junction of the ...

Yale astronomer Pieter van Dokkum and a team of researchers have discovered an object in space they call the "Infinity" galaxy—two recently-collided galaxies that, together, look like the symbol for ...

Astronomers using data collected by the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a spectacular cosmic object they’re calling the “Infinity Galaxy.” The site of an epic head-on collision between two ...

Everything about the Infinity galaxy is unusual. It looks very strange and it has a supermassive black hole pulling a lot of material in.

"The biggest surprise of all was that the black hole was not located inside either of the two nuclei but in the middle. We asked ourselves: How can we make sense of this?" When you purchase through ...
