Let’s face it: who hasn’t fantasized at least once about spotting a black hole outside their window instead of the neighbor’s ...

Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists to wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole. Parallels in the physics of the universe and that of black holes have led ...

Black holes are notorious for gobbling up everything that comes their way, but astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have discovered that even supermassive black ...

The early universe appears to be littered with enormous star-like balls of gas powered by a black hole at their core, a finding that has taken astronomers by surprise and might solve one of the ...

A supermassive black hole that’s 10 million times the mass of the Sun is hurtling through space, leaving a trail of gas that’s spawning newborn stars in its wake. Astronomers have long theorized about ...

Physicists may soon witness a cosmic fireworks show: the explosive death of a primordial black hole. Once thought to be unimaginably rare, new research suggests there’s up to a 90% chance of catching ...

Imagine you’re standing in front of a closed door. Behind it is a teenager’s bedroom, and your task is to rate how messy it is on a scale of 1 to 10. But here’s the twist: you can’t open the door – ...

Astronomers have detected a supermassive black hole flare thought to be the brightest and most distant discovered yet. Credit: Caltech / R. Hurt illustration A supermassive black hole tearing apart a ...

A new simulation could help solve one of astronomy’s longstanding mysteries—how supermassive black holes formed so rapidly—along with a new one: What are the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) ...

(NewsNation) — Scientists have detected the largest and most distant black hole flare, one with the power of 10 trillion suns. Astronomers using the Zwicky Transient Facility discovered the flare ...

Astronomers have recently achieved a landmark feat: For the first time, they have captured an image of two black holes locked in orbit around each other . The discovery, led by Mauri Valtonen of the ...

Scientists have spotted the brightest flare yet from a supermassive black hole that shines with the light of 10 trillion suns. These bursts of light and energy can come from things like tangled-up ...
