Astronomers have made the first direct observation of a spinning black hole twisting the very fabric of spacetime, a ...

Astronomers were puzzled by a black hole around 50 million times the mass of the sun with no stars, spotted by the James Webb ...

Scientists say they've spotted the first runaway supermassive black hole that's rocketing away from its home at a staggering speed.

Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar created a black hole that would later turn out to be fairly scientifically accurate.

Astronomers have seen spacetime itself wobble near a spinning black hole for the first time. The discovery, revealed during a star’s destruction, confirms a major prediction of Einstein’s theory of ...

Astronomers have found three supermassive black holes on a collision course in a rare cosmic event, situated nearly 1.2 ...

A fresh black hole merger detection has offered the clearest evidence yet for Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s predictions. Scientists tracked the complete cosmic collision, confirming that black ...

QSO1. It lived just 700 million years after the Big Bang and already had a mass about 50 million times that of the Sun.

Supermassive black holes may not be as massive as previously thought, according to a new discovery by scientists. Astronomers from the University of Southampton, working with colleagues from France, ...

Some 1.2 billion light-years from Earth, a massive event is unfolding on cosmic scales. There, not two, but three galaxies ...

When scientists discovered an enormous black hole thousands of light-years from where it ought to be in space, they knew they had a cosmic oddity on their hands. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope showed a ...

Scanning through a catalog of over 2,700 energetic deep space explosions captured by NASA's Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory, James Paynter's task was to find a needle in a needle stack. The doctoral ...
