The newly discovered "blazar," which has a mass equal to 700 million suns, is the oldest of its kind ever seen and changes what we know about the early universe.

New research shows black holes can trigger gas cooling, creating fuel for their own feeding. This process keeps them growing ...

Black holes are as dangerous as they are distant, so scientists set out to simulate one in a lab. What happened next would ...

From unifying quantum physics and gravity to working out what is dark matter, the universe has some deep questions that ...

Collaboration has achieved the highest-resolution Earth-based observations to date, detecting light at 345 GHz from the ...

A new analysis of M87*, the first black hole imaged by humanity, has revealed turbulence in the matter around it, which this ...

Twin jets erupt from a supermassive black hole in Draco, offering new insights into black hole activity and evolution.

Astronomers have identified a quasar that may help explain how the universe’s “dark ages” finally ended. Astronomers have ...

"Our measurements imply that the supermassive black hole mass is 10% of the stellar mass in the galaxies we studied." ...

If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs. A group of researchers recently simulated the event horizon of a man-made black hole in ...

Veering close to a black hole is dangerous business. Black holes are profoundly dense. If Earth was (hypothetically) crushed into a black hole, it would be under an inch across. But supermassive ...
