"This tells us that the magnetized plasma swirling near the event horizon is far from static; it's dynamic and complex, ...

New images have revealed the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy M87 flipping its gravitational field.

A cosmic spectacle predicted by Stephen Hawking may be on the horizon as scientists warn of a black hole poised to explode.

Black holes get bigger as they merge, the LIGO Collaboration confirmed with a new observation that could finally prove a ...

Black holes like the one shown in this illustration can grow astonishingly massive by feeding on immense amounts of matter. But just how big can they get? In the early 1960s astronomers discovered a ...

Astronomers confirmed an off-center black hole in a dwarf galaxy. It offers clues to how supermassive black holes may form.

This so-called tidal disruption event is the best way to spot these middle-mass black holes. A rogue, middle-mass black hole has been spotted disrupting an orbiting star in the halo of a distant ...

New views of two colliding black holes confirm predictions made by Stephen Hawking using Albert Einstein’s theory.

An interstellar mission to a black hole may sound impossibly bold, yet a new concept by astrophysicist Cosimo Bambi of Fudan University outlines how a tiny, laser‑propelled probe could make the trip ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...
