How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 billion times the mass of the sun.

The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the ...

Hubble spotted a rare off-center black hole shredding a star, revealing the first optical discovery of a wandering ...

In a recently published paper in Physical Review Letters, scientists propose a comprehensive theoretical framework indicating that gravitational wave signals from black hole mergers are more complex ...

Researchers say there are far more supermassive black holes out there than we previously suspected, and they're starting to ...

The earliest and most distant supermassive black hole discovered thus far by JWST is CEERS 1019, which existed just 570 ...

Could Mysterious Black Hole Burps Rewrite Physics?

Using machine learning to analyse data from the Event Horizon Telescope, researchers found the black hole at the centre of ...

The three examples the team highlighted in a new study describe supermassive black holes feasting on stars more than three times as massive as our own sun. The events, dubbed “extreme nuclear ...

Black holes generally come in two sizes: big and really big. As they are so dense, they are measured in terms of mass rather than size, and astronomers call these two groups of stellar mass black ...

A regular black hole would have the light ring and the outer horizon, but also an inner horizon, which would enclose a core or a wormhole throat instead of a singularity. This would be a spacetime ...

The High Desert Astronomical Society will host a free "Black Hole Day" event at the Luz Observatory in Apple Valley, California on May 9. The event will feature a presentation by Caltech ...
