Deep-field images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope revealed 300 unusually energetic early galaxy candidates, offering ...

A new study published in Nature Astronomy describes the most luminous object ever observed by astronomers. It is a black hole with a mass of 17 billion Suns, swallowing a greater amount of mass than ...

Astronomers have found the most luminous object in the known universe, hiding in plain sight. Quasars are the brightest objects in the cosmos. So bright, in fact, that when they were first spotted in ...

Astronomers observed ancient quasars that appear to be surprisingly alone in the early universe. The findings challenge physicists' understanding of how such luminous objects could have formed so ...

This artist’s impression shows the record-breaking quasar J059-4351, the bright core of a distant galaxy that is powered by a supermassive black hole. The most luminous object in the universe ever ...

Astronomers have characterized a bright quasar, finding it to be not only the brightest of its kind, but also the most luminous object ever observed. Quasars are the bright cores of distant galaxies ...

An international effort led by astrophysicists at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, and the Technical University of Denmark has identified a distant object with properties that lie ...
