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

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.

Space-time may hide a bizarre new kind of black hole that causes Einstein’s theory of gravity to fail – and could solve the ...

After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.

Space is already filled with plenty of mysteries, and black holes may be among the strangest. Here are some of the questions ...

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

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

Researchers have discovered the largest black hole plasma jets ever in a galaxy almost 7 billion light years away from Earth.
