Researchers in South Korea are developing a constellation of satellites that could reveal what goes on in the vicinity of supermassive black holes like never before. The constellation, dubbed ...

On York Boulevard in Los Angeles, a blurred black hole hangs on a dark wall, joined only by a pair of headphones playing looping echoes of its siblings colliding. It's a familiar scene of our ...

A "missing link" black hole in Omega Centauri is still missing. What appeared to be an intermediate-mass black hole was a cluster of stellar-mass black holes. New research may have delivered bad ...

For half a century, astrophysicists have been trying to solve the Black Hole Information Paradox—first explained by Stephen Hawking in 1976—which posits that black holes destroy information.

The water supply in this distant place is huge, containing the equivalent of about 140 trillion times all the water in Earth’s oceans combined. This supply is sitting near a supermassive black hole ...

Quantum research supports Penrose’s theory that black holes obscure singularities, with the quantum Penrose inequality linking black hole entropy to space-time structure. Einstein’s theory of general ...

Now, thanks to NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers may have caught the culprit red-handed — supermassive black holes acting as cosmic kill switches ... StudyFinds publishes ...
