Since it turned on, the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed dozens of mysterious red blobs in space. The so-called Little ...

A burst of X-rays from 8 billion years ago may be the first clear evidence of a white dwarf torn apart by a black hole.

A newly detected X-ray transient may reveal the first direct evidence of an intermediate-mass black hole consuming a white dwarf. A newly observed cosmic outburst is giving astronomers a rare glimpse ...

Intense radiation emitted by active supermassive black holes—thought to reside at the center of most, if not all, galaxies—can slow star growth not just in their host galaxy, but also in galaxies ...

New analysis suggests Webb’s little red dots are young black holes hidden in thick gas, with masses far smaller than first thought.

A fluffy cluster of stars spilling across the sky may have a secret hidden in its heart: a swarm of over 100 stellar-mass black holes. The star cluster in question is called Palomar 5. It's a stellar ...

A ‘runaway’ black hole ejected from its host galaxy is barrelling across space — and leaving behind a wake of newborn stars. A 2023 paper 1 reported the discovery of a bright, straight feature that ...

Hidden deep within the Milky Way, a surprising discovery has been made: over 100 black holes tucked away in the Palomar 5 ...

The KM3NeT collaboration is a large research group involved in the operation of a neutrino telescope network in the deep ...

Astronomers have witnessed a rare cosmic event: a massive star that didn’t explode in a spectacular supernova, but instead quietly collapsed into a black hole.

Astronomers have found a potential new piece of the ongoing puzzle over “little red dots” (LRDs). It’s a distant smudge in the sky reminiscent of the mysteriously compact, crimson orbs that keep ...

Scientists have traced a 3,000-light-year-long cosmic jet streaming out from the first black hole ever imaged to its likely source point with the help of "significantly enhanced coverage" from the ...
