Astronomers have witnessed something incredible: a supermassive black hole that was dormant for decades suddenly waking up ...

Yes, science proves it's possible to safely jump into a black hole. But if you're going to try it, you need to know this one small catch.

"A black hole is so concentrated that it causes a little deep puncture in space/time. At the end of the puncture, you have a thing called a singularity where all known laws of nature break down ...

Scientists Found a Black Hole That Shouldn’t Exist. Now Physics Has a Problem. At 225 solar masses, this gargantuan merger of two black holes challenges our thinking on these famously elusive ...

Lightning might not strike twice, but black holes apparently do. An international group of researchers led by Tel Aviv University astronomers observed a flare caused when a star falls onto a black ...

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 ...

Scientists say humans could indeed enter a black hole to study it. Of course, the human in question couldn’t report their findings—or ever come back. The reason is that supermassive black ...

A death-defying star survived destruction by a ravenous supermassive black hole in a tidal disruption event, and came back to let the cosmic titan take another bite!

Astronomers suspect the giant black hole at the heart of the Milky Way may have collided with another black hole in just the past 10 million years. At the core of the galaxy, about 26,000 light ...

A black hole tore into the same star twice, revealing that some stars may survive tidal disruption events and repeatedly flare.

Now, in a preprint uploaded to the arXiv server, LVK scientists have provided evidence that there’s a new heavyweight champion—a merger that produced a new 255-solar-mass black hole.
