Black holes that have been obscured by clouds of dust still emit infrared light, enabling astronomers to spot them for the ...

A new form of black hole archeology, linking spin to gas and dust, has revealed that these cosmic titans spin faster than ...

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

Observations with JWST show unexpectedly large black holes in early galaxies, reshaping ideas about cosmic evolution.

By combining data from NASA’s IRAS and NuSTAR telescopes, scientists have uncovered more hidden supermassive black holes than earlier estimates suggested. Their findings indicate that over a third of ...

How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 ...

If a star orbits a black hole, it will appear from a distance to be orbiting empty space. Gaia projects the star’s orbit on a ...

For the first time, researchers have found evidence that even microquasars with low-mass stars can efficiently accelerate ...

Black holes might all have hearts of pure darkness, but many cloak themselves in rings of fire that blaze like little else in ...

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

Rather than relying on a cheek swab or a little blood, however, these cosmic DNA tests utilize tiny ripples in the fabric of ...
