Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spied dynamic flares of light near the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The constant, rapid-fire display ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has shown that the Milky Way’s black hole is constantly blazing with light, releasing long flares as well as short flashes every day.

Now, the particulars of how light around M87’s black hole is oriented could rule out the likelihood of axion particles in a specific mass range, researchers report March 17 in Nature Astronomy.

The black hole in question, which has a mass around 1.4 billion times that of the sun, is located at the heart of a galaxy designated 1ES 1927+654. It's located about 270 million light-years away ...

A black hole skulking in the shadows 600 million light-years away in space gave itself away with a dazzling flash, the light of a star it had just gnashed and eaten. Using NASA 's Hubble Space ...

New research suggests that extreme objects known as "kugelblitze" — black holes formed solely from light — are impossible in our universe, challenging Einstein's theory of general relativity.
