Peering deep into the heart of a blazar, astronomers have learned how particles are being accelerated to close to the speed of light, to race away in a jet emanating from near the blazar's monstrous ...

Quasar has set up its second digital agency for the Indian market. The interactive agency owned by WPP and Smile Interactive Technology Group (SITG), named Blazar, will be based in Gurgaon. As in the ...

A spiraling jet of radiation from a violently active supermassive black hole could hold the key to a better understanding of the black hole at the center of our own galaxy. When you purchase through ...

A celestial object known as a blazar is a source of high-energy neutrinos, report two new studies. Neutrinos are light particles that only weakly interact with ordinary matter. Just two individual ...

A "blazar" is a supermassive black hole at the center of a faraway galaxy that's shooting energetic jets toward Earth. Scientists noticed one at the same time they detected a neutrino, a whispy ...

For 15 years, astronomers have quietly studied a mysterious object billions of light-years away, and now they have revealed its true identity. Using years of data from the Very Long Baseline Array, ...

Astronomers have made a rare discovery in the early universe involving two actively feeding supermassive black holes—or quasars—just 10,000 light-years apart from each other, that are on the verge of ...

An extreme class of cosmic object called a blazar easily outshines the myriad of stars around it, and helped render the first-ever picture of the Milky Way's heart. When the Event Horizon Telescope ...

Blazars are the brightest of active galactic nuclei, and many emit very high-energy gamma rays. New observations of the blazar known as PKS 1424+240 show that it is the most distant known source of ...
