It was unusual to find the supermassive black hole in this galaxy because NGC 1600 belongs to an average-size galaxy group. Ma said rich galaxy clusters such as the Coma Cluster are very rare, but ...

The elliptical galaxy NGC 1600 (left) harbours a very massive black hole with 17 billion times the mass of the Sun. Unlike other galaxies, where very massive black holes have been found (like NGC 4889 ...

NGC 1600's black hole takes up about 2 percent of its galaxy's mass — which is about 10 times larger than black holes at the center of their galaxies are expected to be. Small black holes can ...

In this case, the behemoth black hole at the core of NGC 1600 weighs 17 billions suns. The record holder is a monster black hole in the Coma galaxy cluster, which has over 1,000 galaxies; its size ...

March 24–31, 2016: Globular cluster NGC 2808 in Carina offers small-telescope owners a nice view, while large-telescope owners can seek out elliptical galaxy NGC 2986 in Hydra and the Sextans Dwarf.

The team behind the Hubble Space Telescope recently published this image of a celestial body called NGC 6717 that's located about 20,000 light-years away from Earth. It's a globular cluster, or a ...

NASA has released an image taken by the Hubble space telescope of a cluster of stars in a neighboring galaxy. Its name -- NGC 121 -- may be prosaic, but the image is spectacular.

The massive relic galaxy NGC 1277 has few blue globular clusters, indicating that it has undergone little mass accretion and is a candidate ‘red nugget’ in the nearby Universe. Globular ...
