A black hole infamous for strange features has once again baffled astronomers, this time with rapid X-ray flashes. What could ...

Astronomers have detected a mid-infrared flare from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy for the ...

Astronomers have managed to locate hundreds of tricky to spot black holes lurking in space using infrared light - and have ...

Strange x-ray pulses hint at a surprisingly long-lived white dwarf orbiting precariously close to a supermassive black hole ...

so the star core begins to collapse in on itself. If its mass collapses into an infinitely small point, a black hole is born. Packing all of that bulk—many times the mass of our own sun—into ...

The Pinwheel Galaxy lies 21 million light-years away in the Ursa Major constellation. The Antennae Galaxies are rich in black holes and neutron stars, driving rapid star formation and evolution. This ...

NASA telescopes reveal 35% of supermassive black holes are hidden by dust, reshaping theories about their role in galaxy ...

A light-year is the distance light travels in a year, 5.9 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km). Most galaxies have a large black ...

MIT astronomers observed flashes of X-rays coming from a supermassive black hole at a steadily increasing clip. The source could be the core of a dead star that’s teetering at the black hole’s edge.

For the first time, scientists witness a supermassive black hole releasing jets of material at immense speeds, offering a glimpse into jet formation and propagation in active galactic nuclei.

Primordial black holes could reshape our understanding of dark matter. Researchers suggest these elusive cosmic phenomena ...
