NASA researchers combined years of data and new imaging techniques to learn more about a "tipped over" black hole that is moving in an unexpected way. The black hole is located in a galaxy called ...

Supermassive black holes typically rotate with the galactic plane, expelling X-rays perpendicular to the plane itself.

Now, though, NASA has actually watched a black hole eat a star. To get a good view of the event, NASA used multiple of its space telescopes to observe the black hole as it ate the star.

an associate professor the University of Maryland Baltimore County said in a NASA news release. After the outburst, the black hole appeared to return to a quiet state, with a lull in activity for ...
