A decade ago, physicists using twin detectors in Washington State and Louisiana detected gravitational waves—subtle ripples ...

It's no secret that black holes are some of the weirdest objects in space. Their disks are fluffy like cake, and diving into ...

Scientists can sometimes "see" black holes when they devour matter around them; the surrounding material accelerates so fast it starts to glow. But not all black holes have a bright visible ring ...

"Little red dot" galaxies discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope in the early cosmos appear to be ruled by supermassive black holes that are 1,000 times too massive.

this is the first time we've captured it in mid-infrared – one of the missing pieces of the puzzle of the black hole's behavior, according to a team led by astronomer Sebastiano von Fellenberg from ...

Scientists have discovered that some supermassive black holes rotate much more rapidly than expected. The discovery came as the result of a new form of "black hole archeology" that links black ...

Supermassive black holes are often regarded as sources of wanton cosmic destruction, but there may be more to their powerful influence than first meets the eye. Researchers studied data from the ...

An out-of-space experience! That is what Thursday’s event at ARTos House in Nicosia will be, with visitors learning ...

Stellar black holes retain no memory of the star that collapsed to lead to their formation, except that of its mass, electric (or magnetic) charge, and rotation speed. All other characteristics of ...

If primordial black holes are out there, they could help solve one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology: What is dark matter? This elusive substance is six times as abundant as all the ordinary ...
