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 ...

Small primordial black holes, born in the first moments of the Universe, might have reached supermassive sizes extremely ...

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 ...

Possible evolutionary outcomes for white dwarfs hosting an endoparasitic black hole (EBH), plotted as a function of the white dwarf mass M_WD and spin period T_WD. The diagram shows three distinct ...

First up is WR 124, a type of star called a Wolf-Rayet which is a potential precursor to a black hole. As these old, massive stars come to the end of their lives, they start throwing off layers of ...

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 ...
