"...there are strong, twisted, and organized magnetic fields near the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy."
The new map logs the location of about 1.3 million quasars, with the furthest shining when the universe was only 1.5 billion years old.
Black holes spill food all the time, but researchers have caught a black hole "flipping over the table" during an otherwise civilized meal.
"This could completely shake up our understanding of how galaxies form," says Joseph Silk.
A forensic study clarifies the destruction of a star that got too close to a black hole. "We are seeing the guts of what used to be a star."
A strand of lined-up galaxies in the early universe reveals clues—and questions—about the fundamental architecture of the universe.
"Discoveries like this really open our eyes to the fact that we are still uncovering mysteries and exploring wonders in the universe..."
"The question of the nature of dark energy is perhaps the most important unanswered question in contemporary physics...."
"Relatively few dual black holes like this have ever been confirmed. This pair has the closest separation yet measured..."
Researchers have created millions of simulated galaxies to find out how black holes grow with their galaxies.
