How do black holes 'leak' energy? Scientists have a new spin on the answer
Black holes may leak more energy to their surroundings than previously suspected — and the faster these voids spin, the more efficient this energy extraction seems to be.
Scientists may have just discovered 300 of the rarest black holes in the universe
How black holes grow to monstrous scales is one of astronomy's prevailing enigmas. A new record-breaking dataset, which reveals 300 potential 'missing link black holes', could help to unravel it.
Scientists discover black holes spinning unexpectedly fast: 'You’re essentially looking at its fossil record'
Scientists have discovered that some supermassive black holes rotate much more rapidly than expected. The discovery came as the result of a new form of "black hole archeology" that links black hole spins to the gas and dust they have consumed to grow over 7 billion years of cosmic history.
Why are 'fireworks' coming from a black hole? This is what scientists say
A team of astrophysicists have found flares of light in Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way.
Indian-origin scientist’s team makes breakthrough discovery on largest black holes samples & dwarf galaxies
In a groundbreaking revelation, a team of scientists in the United States, led by Indian-origin astrophysicist Raga Deepika Pucha, has discovered the largest collection of intermediate-mass black holes and dwarf galaxies harboring active black holes.
Massive black hole nears our galaxy
A supermassive black hole, estimated to be 600,000 times larger than the Sun, is making its way toward the Milky Way, according to a research team from the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
