Astronomers have spotted around a dozen of these weird, rare blasts. Could they be signs of a special kind of black hole?

An isolated black hole has been identified for the first time. Researchers used data from the Hubble telescope and the Gaia ...

How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 billion times the mass of the sun.

A black hole 6.5 billion times the mass of the Sun, imaged by the EHT, with a shadow outlined by hot gas swirling around it. A galaxy with a supermassive black hole, imaged by NASA’s Chandra X ...

"The trick to obtain this result is that the black hole absorbs negative energy, which leads to a reduction in its mass-energy, which translates into a decrease in its rotational speed," Pinochet ...

Black Hole Debate Settled? Stellar-Mass Black Holes Found at the Heart of the Milky Way's Largest Star Cluster Dec. 9, 2024 — Could a decades-long debate about the mysterious movements of stars ...

Two new research studies explore how a stellar nursery in the heart of the Milky Way is affected by the region’s strong ...

Astronomers have confirmed the existence of a solitary black hole drifting through space, making a first in cosmic ...

the new data is revealing more profound insights into the hidden processes of star formation and black hole growth at “Cosmic Noon,” the era from roughly 10 to 12 billion years ago when galaxies built ...
