By observing tiny ripples in spacetime called "gravitational waves" that propagate away from colliding black holes, ...

Scientists have proposed a new type of dark matter called ultra self-interacting dark matter to explain how supermassive black holes grew quickly. Unlike regular dark matter, this type interacts ...

Astronomers have discovered a gigantic black hole named Gaia BH3 hiding close to the earth, the third of its kind. All three were discovered by the European Space Agency’s Gaia telescope ...

Supermassive black holes, regions of space where the pull of gravity is so intense that even light doesn't have enough energy to escape, are often considered terrors of the known universe.

An international team of researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Chandra X-ray observatory has discovered a bizarre black hole that may provide insights into the ...

aiding in understanding the earliest supermassive black holes. Able to see into the far reaches of the universe, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) glimpsed quasars so distant and ancient that ...

Black holes have long been the ultimate cosmic enigma, defying conventional physics and pushing the boundaries of what we ...

Black holes are famous for being insatiable concentrations of gravity from which not even light can escape. And if they floated through space all on their lonesome, it might be the end of the story.
