The mysteries of a very ancient and massive black hole are being unraveled using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).. This supermassive black hole, found in the center of a galaxy named ...

The hunt for intermediate-mass black holes (IMBH) has picked up over recent years, and there are now dozens of promising candidates. This artist’s concept depicts a 2,200 solar mass IMBH ...

More massive black holes, for example, would need hundreds of days, or possibly years, of observations to reveal their masses. Upcoming observatories are already planning to take that kind of data.

The primordial black hole is around 1 billion times the mass of our sun and was found at the center of the galaxy COS-87259. The ancient galaxy formed just 750 million years after the Big Bang and ...

Stellar-mass black holes — which weigh between a few and 100 times the mass of the Sun — speckle the universe. In our Milky Way alone, there are an estimated ten million to one billion stellar ...
