Traditionally thought to go silent after a brief flare of activity, some black holes are now being observed emitting new ...

About 99 percent of all the mass released in a tidal disruption event is called nonrelativistic—it moves along at 10 percent the speed of light or less. The remaining 1 percent, however, is very ...

It’s the largest black hole jet we’ve discovered to date. What makes this particular jet so exciting for astronomers is not only its size. It’s also estimated to be 1.2 billion years old.

For years, scientists have theorized that some black holes could be wormholes, and a new study shows that this space-time mimicry could in fact be possible.

In 2022, they presented an image of the black hole in our Milky Way, Sagittarius A*. However, the data behind the images still contained a wealth of hard-to-crack information.

New findings about intermediate-mass black holes could shed light on some of the universe’s more mysterious components. In a recently published paper, a group of scientists have found new evidence of ...

Black holes are the notorious loners of the universe since getting close to them usually means catastrophic destruction. The latest victim who attempted friendship with one of these hungry giants ...

This model does more than fix technical problems with standard cosmology. It could also shed new light on other deep mysteries in our understanding of the early universe – such as the origin of ...

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe—a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if ...

A team of physicists have proposed a new cosmological model – dubbed the "black hole universe" – that suggests that our universe did not begin at the Big Bang. For a long time the universe was ...
