Quick Look: NASA's Chandra Identifies an Underachieving Black Hole (03-21-2024)
A brilliant supermassive black hole is not living up to expectations. Although responsible for high levels of radiation and powerful jets, this giant black hole is not as influential as many of its counterparts in other galaxies.

Quick Look: Stellar Beads on a String (02-21-2024)
Astronomers have discovered one of the most powerful eruptions from a black hole ever recorded. This mega-explosion may help explain the formation of a striking pattern of star clusters around two massive galaxies, resembling "beads on a string."
