A new form of black hole archeology, linking spin to gas and dust, has revealed that these cosmic titans spin faster than ...
"Unexpectedly, we found that they were spinning too fast to have been formed by galaxy mergers alone. "They must have formed in large part from material falling in, growing the black hole smoothly ...

New details have been discovered about M87*, the first black hole ever photographed, revealing its plasma, its brightness and ...
By observing tiny ripples in spacetime called "gravitational waves" that propagate away from colliding black holes, ...
Supermassive black holes are often regarded as sources of wanton cosmic destruction, but there may be more to their powerful influence than first meets the eye. Researchers studied data from the ...
Gravitational waves are unlocking the origins of black holes, linking spin shifts to sequential mergers in star clusters.
