How black holes grow to monstrous scales is one of astronomy's prevailing enigmas. A new record-breaking dataset, which ...

Black holes have been fascinating subjects of study, not just because they are cosmic vacuum cleaners, but also as engines of ...

Observations revealed ongoing fireworks featuring short bursts and longer flares. Imagine solar flares, but magnified to an ...

The team behind new research on the topic suggests that measuring whether gravitational waves from black hole mergers are right- or left-handed can tell us if the Cosmological Principle — an absolute ...

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

Sagittarius A*, our galaxy's supermassive black hole, is constantly producing strange eruptions. Astronomers are using the ...

General relativity’s equations fail catastrophically at a black hole’s centre, known as its singularity, where the warping of space-time simply goes off the scale. Even Einstein thought that ...

“They can provoke or impede star formation on large scales, they can remove gas and clear out galaxies, leaving them unable to form stars.” The study authors don’t believe the black hole was ...

A survey to reveal the unseen majority of the Universe has just turned up a treasure trove of black holes that may help solve one of the biggest mysteries of the cosmos.

New observations using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal a "unique" ongoing, rapid-fire light show.

This study marks a significant step toward multi-year analysis at horizon scales, in order to investigate the black hole's turbulent accretion flow. It utilizes a vastly improved set of ...
