Black holes are eaters of all things, even radiation. A new study published in Physical Review Letters suggests that black ...

Astronomers detected in unprecedented detail a collision between two black holes. Their observations confirm predictions made ...

Most supermassive black holes lurk in the nuclei of galaxies, surrounded by stars and glowing with haloes of superhot matter, ...

Scientists have simulated how M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, powers its immense particle ...

New data from the James Webb Space Telescope may solve a riddle from the universe’s beginnings. A compact, distant object ...

A hundred years before the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration released the first image of a black hole in 2019—located at the heart of the galaxy M87—astronomer Heber Curtis had already discovered ...

Two black holes collided 1.3 billion light years from Earth, creating a 'ringing,' which in turn allowed astrophysicists to test some theories. And it turns out, they were all correct.

"It's an elegant answer, really, because we thought it was a tiny galaxy full of many separate cold stars, but it's actually, ...

Could black holes help explain the origins of high-energy cosmic radiation? The universe is filled with many forms of ...

The deepest mysteries of the universe often begin with the biggest questions. Few are more puzzling than the birth of supermassive black holes. These giants, weighing millions to billions of times ...

In a new study, a team of astronomers focused on one particular little red dot that existed 1.8 billion years after the Big Bang. The object was originally identified in the Red Unknowns: Bright ...

In a significant potential shift for astrophysics, it turns out that some quasars may weigh as little as half what was previously believed.
