That the Universe is largely composed of a cosmic web consisting of narrow filaments upon which galaxies and intergalactic gas and dust are concentrated has been known for more than a decade. While a ...

Quasars are active black holes -- primarily from the early universe. Using a special method where you observe light that has been bent by gravity on its way through the universe, a group of physics ...

APM 08279-5255 is a massive black hole (quasar) that contains about 140 trillion times the amount in all of Earth’s oceans ...

A newfound quasar is blasting out the brightest radio emissions ever observed in the early universe, new research reports. Quasars, the brightest objects in the cosmos, are comprised of giant black ...

Phil Rhodes takes a look at the Quasar Science Rainbow 2 tube light. We think he likes it. Whenever we’ve discussed full colour mixing lights in the past, we’ve always had to make excuses about our ...

A team of astronomers led by the University of Arizona has observed a luminous quasar 13.03 billion light-years from Earth - the most distant quasar discovered to date. Dating back to 670 million ...

Astronomers found a quasar with the brightest radio emission ever observed in the early universe, due to it spewing out a jet of extremely fast-moving material. Scientists have revealed in ...

James Webb Space telescope spots 'big red dot' in the ancient universe: A ravenous supermassive black hole named 'BiRD' ...

Quasars are some of the most luminous and distant objects in the universe – and appear to have something in common with ordinary light bulbs, say researchers at the University of Illinois at ...

An extremely distant quasar has been discovered, one that astronomers say emits light from the dawn of time, a new study suggests. Quasars are huge, incredibly bright celestial objects located in the ...

Astronomers have just discovered a galaxy with a supermassive black hole at its core, and it's located over 12.8 billion light-years away from Earth, just a billion years shy of the Big Bang. Known as ...

Pairs of black holes have been detected in the past through their gravitational effects, but until now, scientists have never ...
