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 ...

The discovery of a hidden supermassive black hole inside an ancient galaxy suggests that some of our universe's most extreme objects could be invisible unless observed in infrared wavelengths, James ...

For decades, scientists have suspected that some quasars, which are regarded as some of the brightest objects in the universe, might actually conceal not one but two black holes locked in a ...

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 ...
