Researchers have observed strange goings-on around a supermassive black hole located nearly 300 million light years away.

Earlier this year, new research suggested a potential solution to one of the most troubling aspects of modern physics — that ...

Black holes are about as mysterious as deep space gets, with plenty of puzzles that scientists have yet to solve.One conundrum is how some supermassive black holes became so big early in the ...

Scientists have found a black hole so large it eats the equivalent of one sun per day. February 20, 2024 1:31 PM ET. By . Joe Hernandez Enlarge this image.

The black hole is roughly 1,000 light-years from Earth — and more than 2,000 light-years closer than the next one known. What's more, scientists say, it may be just "the tip of an exciting iceberg." ...

Scientists have discovered more about the process that causes black holes to "leak" energy to their surroundings, finding the faster they spin, the more energy is extracted.
