Astronomers confirm a wandering black hole in our galaxy’s Sagittarius region using Hubble and Gaia microlensing data.

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to revisit a misunderstood black hole thought to be gulping ...

A massive clump of dark matter in the Perseus galaxy cluster is linked to its core by a bridge of dark matter, evidence of a ...

No explosive birth needed: The discovery suggests this black hole likely formed through direct collapse, a quiet implosion ...

Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A black hole is a terrifying concept, but the mysterious nexus of physics and space-time isn’t always gobbling up matter. While ...

This artist’s impression illustrates the mechanism that could be at the origin of the powerful bursts of X-ray light seen from a newly awakened black hole named Ansky. ESA; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ...

Although we know that supermassive black holes (millions of times the mass of our Sun) lurk at the centre of most galaxies, their very nature makes them difficult to spot and study. In contrast to ...

A supermassive black hole 300 million light-years away has astrophysicists stumped. It lurks at the center of a galaxy called SDSS1335+0728, and, since 2019, researchers have been watching in ...

They sit at the centers of galaxies and shine as black holes devour nearby matter, releasing energy that outshines entire galaxies. The telescope targeted one of the first and most famous quasars ...

A group of physicists has proposed a new way of thinking about black holes by mapping out intricate “supermazes” – theoretical structures that provide a fresh blueprint for understanding the ...

The scientists studied a black hole system consisting of a stellar-mass black hole and a sun-like star orbiting each other. In this system, 5 or 6 jets occur over a period of about 20 days, making ...

Albert Einstein refused to believe black holes could exist, even though his own theory showed they did. Today, their existence has been proved but they remain one of the greatest mysteries in ...
