The "Cosmic Grapes" galaxy formed just 900 million years after the Big Bang, revealing a never-before-seen structure.

New simulations suggest early black holes grew rapidly through intense feeding, helping explain why massive black holes appeared so soon after the Big Bang ...

Black holes in the early Universe appear to have grown far faster than scientists once believed. Astronomers have long struggled to explain how black holes became enormous so early in the Universe’s ...

It's one of astronomy's great mysteries: how did black holes get so big, so massive, so quickly. An answer to this cosmic ...

As gas falls toward a black hole, it heats up and shines. If the glow becomes intense enough, it can push incoming gas away. Astronomers call this balancing point the Eddington limit, and for decades ...
