We have to think outside of the box because what has been done to find primordial black holes previously hasn’t worked,” said ...

New research is shedding light on what researchers call "lite" intermediate-mass black holes, which are smaller, but still ...

Astronomers working with the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected patterns showing ...

"Very massive stars are like the 'rock stars' of the universe — they are powerful, and they live fast and die young." ...

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.

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

The Hubble Space Telescope is making waves again, this time for a snapshot of a spiral galaxy located 250 million light-years ...

"We would need to consider the possibility that the source was created (or trapped as a primordial black hole) by a highly ...

Supermassive black holes usually lurk unseen, but when an unlucky star drifts too close they ignite titanic outbursts ...

One of the most perplexing discoveries in modern astronomy has been finding supermassive black holes, some weighing billions ...

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

A geometric measurement of the distance to a nearby galaxy implies a larger mass for its central black hole than previously calculated, and a consequent increase for most other masses of such ...
