From decades of astronomical observations, scientists know that most galaxies contain massive black holes at their centers.

These mysterious objects can have masses several million or billion times that of the Sun and are so dense that they warp space time around them. As far as astronomers know, all galaxies harbour a ...

The ELT, under construction near Mount Armazones, is set to be the world’s largest visible-light telescope. It will feature a 39.3-meter-wide mirror and is expected to expand our understanding ...

“One of Hubble’s lasting achievements will be how it showed the public the wonders of the universe,” Kenneth Sembach, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute, told National ...

Astronomers and scientists are warning that light pollution from a planned renewable energy project could threaten the functioning of European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in ...

The European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) — the world's largest visible- and infrared-light telescope — is currently under development on the Cerro Armazones ...
