"These Death Star black holes are swiveling around and pointing at new targets, like the fictional space station in Star Wars." About a third of the jets studied (30-38 percent) appear to have ...

A Death Star is born. As if regular old star-gobbling black holes weren’t terrifying enough, scientists discovered that certain types swivel around and shoot beams at various objects in the ...

Researchers using NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope have found that a group of "Death Star black holes are swiveling around and pointing at new targets, like the fictional space station in Star Wars.

"These Death Star black holes are swiveling around and pointing at new targets, like the fictional space station in Star Wars." This process takes between one and tens of millions of years ...

ASTRONOMERS have discovered supermassive Death Star black holes unleashing powerful plasma beams that eerily change direction. The finds are reminiscent of the fictional space station in Star ...

If possible, this could help scientists determine if the massive dying star that launches the detected supernova leaves a black hole or a neutron star in its wake. Why do scientists expect ...

"These Death Star black holes are swiveling around and pointing at new targets, like the fictional space station in Star Wars." The X-ray and radio data indicate that the beams can change ...

Most of us are familiar with the term "supernova," or the process by which a star collapses ... skipping the supernova stage, instead collapsing directly into a black hole. Since 2017, scientists ...

And what makes this discovery so cool is the size and origin of this black hole. It’s super massive. And its existence confirms a theory that the earliest, most massive black holes, called seed black ...
